Jose Mourinho's first appearance as Manchester United manager could be in court as his row with Eva Carneiro continues.
Mourinho is expected to be called to the London South Employment Tribunal in Croydon to appear as a witness when the case resumes on June 6.
Details surrounding Carneiro's dismissal from Chelsea at the start of last season are due to be made public , including e-mails and text messages sent by Mourinho.
Carneiro is still pushing for a public apology from the Portuguese.
Mourinho branded Carneiro as "impulsive and naive" after Chelsea's first game of the 2015/16 season, where she ran onto the pitch to treat Eden Hazard, who was down injured.
She was subsequently dropped from her first-team duties and left the club a month later.
Carneiro is suing the club for constructive dismissal, but is also tangled in a separate personal legal battle against Mourinho after accusing him of victimisation and discrimination.
The legal battle could make Mourinho's introduction to life at Manchester United difficult, with him poised to be named the club's new manager imminently.
Carneiro, who is seeking 'substantial damages', took part in a five hour private hearing in March but no agreement with Chelsea was reached.
The full public tribunal will attract further attention, especially with Mourinho likely to attend in person.
