| Jose Mourinho is driven away from his hotel after being sacked as Manchester United manager |
Jose Mourinho said on Wednesday his Manchester United career was a closed chapter following his sacking as manager a day earlier, but the Portuguese confirmed he would return to management.
United sacked Mourinho after having suffered their worst start to a season for 28 years and replaced him with former striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer until the end of the season.
โManchester United has a future without me and I have a future without United,โ Mourinho told Sky Sports. โWhy should I be sharing more now? Even with the supporters, any of my feelings. Itโs over. Thatโs the way Iโve always been.
โIโve been critical of managers that leave clubs and speak about whatโs happened and whoโs to blame. Thatโs not me. I just want to finish like it happened yesterday and Iโd like to say itโs game over. I hope you media respect this way for me to be.
โUntil I get back to football I have my right to live my normal life. Thatโs what I want to do. United is the past.โ
Former Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid boss Mourinho said he would retain positive memories of his time at Old Trafford and not focus on what went wrong.
โYou know me. I donโt change, what I did when I left Chelsea is the same as what Iโm going to do now,โ Mourinho added.
โI keep the good things and I donโt speak about anything that happened in the club. We could speak about so many good things, not as good, but thatโs not me. Itโs finished.โ
