JOSE MOURINHO won't be able to postpone his eagerly-anticipated return to Chelsea as Manchester United boss, according to reports.

The Portuguese tactician, who was sacked by the west London outfit in December, is supposed to take the Red Devils to face the Blues at Stamford Bridge on Saturday October 22.

Despite United playing in the Europa League on the Thursday, the Premier League wants them to honour their domestic commitments.

And according to the Daily Mail, the Premier League will make a decision without consulting United or Chelsea.

The Blues however, don't have to worry as they won't be participating in the Champions League or Europa League this term.
Besides facing Chelsea, United take on Stoke, Liverpool and Burnley in October.
Mourinho meanwhile has been tipped by Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri, to be the 'new Sir Alex Ferguson' at Old Trafford.
