Jose Mourinho has revealed that he rejected an offer to become Manchester United manager in 2013 following Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement.
According to a post by Sky Sports, he explained that although he was flattered by Manchester United’s interest, he ultimately chose to return to Chelsea.
“I go to Chelsea in 2013 but in that period is something nobody knows. I think I can say because I don’t hurt anyone with the truth, and I think the objective is to tell the truth,” Mourinho said.
“When I left Real Madrid, I signed with Manchester United to go to Manchester United after Sir Alex.”
Mourinho said Manchester United’s appeal was difficult to ignore, describing the club as being very close to Real Madrid in stature.

“I was, of course, very flattered, because Manchester United has an incredible appeal,” he said.
“When I say Real Madrid is the biggest club in the world, I have to say that Manchester United is very, very close.”
The Portuguese manager, however, said his decision was also influenced by his desire to feel loved and wanted by his next club.
“But one thing is love for football, another thing is love for a certain club. I think this is more powerful than love for football and, fundamentally, after Real Madrid, I needed to feel that I’m loved.”
Mourinho eventually returned to Chelsea for a second spell in 2013, while David Moyes was appointed Ferguson’s successor at Manchester United.
