Jose Mourinho has revealed for the first time that he will not finish his managerial career with Manchester United.

‘The only thing I can say is that I am still a coach with worries, with ambitions and with the desire to do new things.’ Mourinho told French TV channel TF1.

‘I’m sure I will not finish my career here (at Manchester United).’

Mourinho, who has had high-profile jobs in Portugal, Italy, Spain and England, conducted the interview in French and waxed lyrical about Paris. He was asked about the possibility of joining PSG.

‘My son who lives in London went to Paris to see a PSG match and he did not go to Manchester,’ Mourinho added. ‘Why Paris? Because there’s something special. Magic, quality, youth, it’s fantastic.’
