Mourinho will learn from Louis van Gaal's experience and deliver
exciting football at Manchester United should he become manager, says
club legend Paul Scholes.
Talks to bring Mourinho to Old Trafford have entered a second day.
Van Gaal was sacked on Monday, two days after winning the FA Cup.
"The
fans at Man United demand entertaining football and I'm sure Mourinho
will come and try and give it," said former midfielder Scholes.

Scholes, who won 11 league titles and
two Champions Leagues during a 20-year career at Old Trafford, was among
Van Gaal's critics, claiming United were disjointed and played boring
football under the 64-year-old.
He also questioned whether the former Netherlands, Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss really understood the "ethos of the club".
"I
think Mourinho will have watched that closely and will have seen what
happened," Scholes, 41, told BBC Surrey. "He's a top manager, he's
proven that before and hopefully he can do that again."
Scholes
also said he was optimistic former team-mate Ryan Giggs, who was
assistant manager under Van Gaal, will stay at Old Trafford.
"I
think it's important that there's some form of continuity," he said.
"Hopefully he'll still be at the club, hopefully still working with the
first team.
"He knows the club inside out, he's been there for nearly 30 years now."
The impending appointment of former Chelsea boss Mourinho has drawn a mixed reaction from former United players.
