Mourinho and Man Utd in quotes
- Updated: May 26, 2016
Jose Mourinho has been appointed as Manchester United’s new manager.
The former Chelsea boss replaces Louis van Gaal after the Dutchman’s sacking on Monday.
Mourinho’s relationship with Manchester United dates back to his days as Porto manager. Here, we look at what they have said about each other over the years.
MOURINHO ON MAN UTD…
On Sir Alex Ferguson (December 2014): “Everything [makes him special]. His talent, the time he put his talent at the service of Manchester United and football in general. The passion that he has put in to everything, and after that in private moments, obviously, a good friend, a good person, a fantastic sense of humour. I like him very, very much.”
On Old Trafford (October 2015): “I went there at Soccer Aid and enjoyed it. The stadium was full and even the players who were not footballers – the actors, singers, comedians – they were feeling the atmosphere in the stadium and enjoyed it so much that I enjoyed it too, and that was just a charity game.

Yes, maybe we are talking about the greatest Premier League player of all time. At the very least no player has contributed so much to a single Premier League club as Ryan Giggs has to Manchester United.”
On whether he was upset to be overlooked by United in 2013: “No. I am where I want to be. I wouldn’t change it for anything.”
On United’s decision to appoint David Moyes (January 2014): “The club gave him an incredible trust when they chose him to be the next Man Utd manager after Sir Alex. It’s a club with a fantastic culture. They believe in stability. They believe in the power of the manager. They believe in the support of the manager.”
On United’s struggles under David Moyes (February 2014): “I feel sorry for them, I never enjoy when somebody is having some problems like they have but United is …
