The Portuguese specialist headed the Royal Club from 2010 to 2013. During this time, Jose failed to win the cherished cup of the Champions League, but interrupted the hegemony of Barcelona in the championship of Spain and began a new round in the development of Real Madrid.

According to Mourinho, the management of Blancos appreciated his work, and did not want him to leave the club.

"At that time the most difficult part of the work was done.

This was understood in the structure of the club, where they wanted me to continue my work in Real Madrid, "said Mourinho.

"Everyone from the president to the CEO understood what was left behind, because they did not want me to leave. I really had to almost beg them not to let me go ".

"I think this will not happen in Manchester United, because I do not want to leave this club," - concluded Jose.

In the first season under the leadership of Mourinho Manchester United managed to win the Europa League and thus win a ticket to the Champions League.
