Jose Mourinho has said he was “happy” at Manchester United and expects to get a good reception when he returns as Tottenham manager on Wednesday.
Mourinho was sacked by United in December last year and will return as a manager for the first time since then when Spurs travel to Old Trafford.
At Man United, Mourinho was right man at wrong time. At Tottenham, it just works
And despite a rocky end to his two-year spell at the club, Mourinho said he has fond memories of managing United.
“I have a great relation with Manchester United supporters,” he said. “I went back as a pundit, which is a different perspective. I was really humbled by such a beautiful reception.
“Tomorrow I go back as the coach of the team that is going is try to beat Manchester United and that maybe gives a different perspective. I expect this respect that they always show towards me, but I understand what they want is exactly the opposite of what I want.
“I want Tottenham to win, they want Manchester United to win. During the match I expect them to forget me and I expect them to support their team to get the result they want.”
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer succeeded Mourinho but has endured a troubled start to the season, with United ninth in the table and closer to the relegation zone than the top four. Ahead of the match on Wednesday, Solskjaer has said he does not fear the sack, with Mourinho’s predecessor Mauricio Pochettino touted as a possible replacement. (ESPN)
