Mourinho rules out return to Real Madrid
Mourinho says he wants to extend his stay at Manchester United. Speaking ahead of today’s Champions League clash with Juventus, the Portuguese was asked if he would like to return to Real Madrid.
‘No,’ he said. ‘My future is here – I have a contract and until the final of my contract I only think about Manchester United.’
Mourinho’s deal runs until 2020, with the option of another year. ‘I would like to stay after my contract runs out as well,’ he added.
The 55-year-old’s comments come amid uncertainty over the future of current Real Madrid boss Julen Lopetegui.
Defeat at home to Levante on Saturday left the European champions languishing in seventh in La Liga, but speaking ahead of today’s game against Plzen, Lopetegui insisted he would fight for his position.
