Jose Mourinho has given an interview with The Teletraph in China ahead of Manchester United’s first game of the tour this afternoon against Borussia Dortmund.
Mourinho arrived to the interview in a red shirt, wearing shoes with red soles, and carrying a mobile phone in a red case.
Our new manager talked about he always had a feeling he would end up in charge of United.
I always had that good feeling, for sure, and I think the fans feel the same. I remember playing at Old Trafford and the way to the dugout was always nice. It was never like in other stadiums. There was always a connection. Then can you end up being their manager one day or not? I always felt that what has to happen happens and it happened so…
Mourinho is known as a short-term manager but he is hoping to break the trend at United and be offered an extension.
I have the contract I have [with United] and for that the owners are happy. To give me a new [extended] contract I will be happy to do that because that is what I want at this moment in my career, that’s what I want but I think it depends on many things. And I will try to do my work to make the owners realise that I am the right guy for this job. But in this moment I’ve just played Wigan.
