jose Mourinho has revealed that he would like to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.

Ferguson, 67, has stated his intention to step down at Old Trafford before 2012, but at the moment he shows few signs of giving up the reins after 23 years in charge.

But former Chelsea boss Mourinho has admitted he would readily consider taking charge of United.

"I would consider going to Manchester United but United have to consider if they want me to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson," the Inter Milan chief told the Daily Mirror.

"If they do, then of course.

"I like England, where the fans are very passionate and make the game a beautiful occasion with such an incredible atmosphere."

Mourinho left England two years ago when he quit as boss of Chelsea and he returned to football last season as he guided Inter Milan to the Serie A title.

It has not passed Mourinho by, however, that Chelsea have failed to win the title since his departure.

"I had many conversations before Chelsea and I decided on a divorce," he continued.

"It was difficult for me because we loved each other but the relationship went in one direction and it was best for everyone.

"Since I left I became a champion again but they have not been champions again. I keep on winning and they don't."

"Since I left I became a champion again but they have not been champions again. I keep on winning and they don't."

words that slaps abrahamovic in the face   

my pick of mgr to succeed SAF:

MON
JM
Moyes
Capello (?)
Lippi

in that order.

Sometimes, the cockiness that drove someone to the success..

Beside his cockiness, his relationship with players is awesome i guess

yeah..JM can be a great manager for MU if one day SAF decided to retire.

Yea,, but some United fans think JM style does not deliver attracting football ....but for me where he goes he wins trophies,,that's important

then 1 day let say JM left united, all the players want to follow him to his new club, LMAO

i dont prefer SAF replacement to be somseone high profile, someone like Moyes could do the job easily, its because of he's passionate with football & the club he's managing, not passionate of himself

Blanc is doing quite well too. And I'm looking forward to see how Steve Bruce shape his team.

"THIS IS OUR YEAR" ......

ANTONIO Valencia is set to make his United debut against Boca Juniors in Munich on Wednesday.

The £18m summer signing from Wigan missed the Reds' tour of Asia while recovering from an injury picked up while playing for Ecuador.

But on Monday he joined up with the squad in Bavaria along with Nemanja Vidic and Craig Cathcart who also missed out on the trip to the Far East.

The match against Boca kicks-off at 5.30pm with the Reds in action again on Thursday against either Bayern Munich or AC Milan.

Meanwhile, Serbian winger Zoran Tosic welcomed his run out in United's final game in China where he scored in the 8-2 victory over Hangzhou Greentown.

"It was important to score a lot of goals," said the former Partizan Belgrade man.

"I've enjoyed my first tour and I hope there will be more with United."

and there will always be next year lol
