Mourinho distance self from PSG speculation

By Daily Sports on October 18, 2017

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has distanced himself from speculation he is keen to move to Paris St-Germain.

The Portuguese told French television on Sunday he would not end his career at Manchester United and that he was "still a coach with ambitions, and with the desire to do new things".

When asked about his comments on Tuesday, he said he was not leaving.

"I'm not signing a new five-year contract and I'm not leaving for PSG," Mourinho, 54, said.

In Sunday's interview with TF1's Telefoot, Mourinho had praised the French club and said his son had chosen to go and watch a match there rather than in Manchester.

"Why Paris? Because there's something special. Magic, quality, youth, it's fantastic," he said.

Speaking before Wednesday's Champions League match away to Benfica, Mourinho said the English media "have the answer".

"Because in one day it says that I'm going to sign a five-year contract, £1bn per season, and then the next day you say that I'm leaving and I'm going to Paris St-Germain.

"I think that's the answer - the answer is that nothing is happening."

Mourinho, who is in his second season with the Red Devils, has never spent more than four years in one spell at any of his seven clubs.
