Jose Wouldn’t Turn Down United

Title: Jose Wouldn’t Turn Down United

Former Chelsea manager and media favourite Jose Mourinho claimed that if Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down as Manchester United manager, he wouldn’t be able to refuse an offer should he be approached by the United board. The Inter Milan manager saw his side knocked out of the Champions League by Sir Alex last month and in an interview at Old Trafford prior the second leg, Jose replied “It feels like home…” when asked how he felt upon returning to the Theatre Of Dreams, where his Chelsea side never beat United during his reign.

Mourinho has never hidden his admiration for the English game, and is widely expected to be back in the Premier League in the coming seasons, but questions remain to as who would be the club signing the man who led Porto to a Champions League honour, and Chelsea to several honours including two back to back titles. Not too long ago, he went on record stating his belief that Cristiano Ronado, tipped with a move to Real Madrid, should stay at Manchester United because it was the right club for him. Speaking to American Sporting media, ESPN, Jose had this to say on a possible move along with realising Ferguson may stay for a few more seasons,

Which is the manager that says no? Nobody can say no! Manchester United belongs to a small group of clubs from around the world where nobody can say no. I don’t believe in 2010 he (Alex Ferguson) is leaving. I don’t believe. I think year after year he is the same, he’s exactly the same person; healthy, happy, so I don’t see a reason for him to quit and in a very fair way, I hope he still goes, I hope he still goes on, because he’s good.

It is a statement which makes one wonder how much of Jose wants to manage United? Did the interest arise on that night when he went dancing down the Old Trafford touchline? Did it start when United broke Chelsea’s dominance and won the Premier League crown stopping a possible 3 in a row? Either way, the tactical genius has Manchester on his radar and when you look at a possible shortlist for managers taking over from Sir Alex, Jose is surely on the list and the list won’t be too long I myself would think.
