Jose Mourinho drops major hint amid Manchester United agreement speculation

JOSE MOURINHO has promised to be back in football "soon" as he lines up his next job following his sacking by Chelsea.

 

Is Jose Mourinho on his way to Manchester United?

 

The 53-year-old has been out of work since December when he left Stamford Bridge after a disastrous defence of their Premier League title.

He has been heavily linked with the Manchester United job with Louis van Gaal under increasing pressure.

Reports in Spain suggested Mourinho had already signed an agreement to become United's next manager at the end of the season.

 

And he has vowed to stay in England and return to football in the Premier League.

"I have always to learn. Even in football, which is an area in which I feel I am an expert, I am never perfect and I will always learn," Mourinho said in an interview with Jaguar.

"Sometimes in my work, and also in private life, maybe people think I am not humble. But I am so humble, and I am always ready to learn from people who know more than me.

 

"No, I am not enjoying it [not working]. I can have my family, I can have my friends, I can have my quiet life, which I also like, and I can have my football. I can have everything together and I don’t need to give up on one of them.

"To be fully happy I need everything, so I go back to football. I think it’s my natural habitat. I have worked since I can remember, and as a manager since 2000.

"I stopped when I left Chelsea in 2007, for a few months, and now is the second time I stop in 15 or 16 years, so it is not a drama. But for sure, I will be back soon."
