Ahead of Jose Mourinho’s first game at Old Trafford as Manchester United manager, he has claimed this job is the pinnacle of his career, following on from stints at Real Madrid, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Porto.
I have been in some of the biggest clubs in the world. This is like the top of my career, but it comes in the early stage of my career.
Because as a manager I am really young, and I think I have the best years of my career to come up.
I was not joking [when I say 15 more years as a manager]. 53 plus 15 is 68, so I would say 14, 15, 16 more years, but I don’t see myself going home before 70.
