Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon expects Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho to return in the future.
The Portuguese is currently under the spotlight at Old Trafford after a poor start to his third campaign in the dugout.
United sit 10th in the Premier League after nine games and reports suggest he is on borrowed time as the board consider other options.

Real are also understood to be considering the future of Julen Lopetegui, who took charge over the summer, but has overseen just four wins from nine La Liga outings.
It’s not clear if Mourinho is being lined up as a potential replacement but Calderon feels the 55-year-old will return to the Bernabeu in the future.
“Mourinho is the only coach that Florentino Perez has real respect for. For better or for worse, he will come back. If Florentino continues to lead Real Madrid, which will happen in total safety, Mourinho will again be the Real Madrid coach,” Calderon told Sky Sports.
Mourinho led Real to the league title in 2011-12 while also guiding the club to Copa del Rey glory in 2010-11 and the Supercopa de Espana in 2012.
