Mourinho says he agreed to replace Ferguson at Man Utd
Jose Mourinho says he agreed to become the manager of Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson left. In a new documentary, the famous coach says he was the first choice to take over at Old Trafford in 2013. At that time, Ferguson was retiring after many winning years. But the job went to David Moyes instead, which shocked many football fans. Mourinho says he had already promised to go back to Chelsea, so he could not take the Manchester United job. This choice changed everything for both teams. Moyes had a hard time at United and lost his job quickly. Mourinho did end up managing United a few years later. This new story shows how close football history came to being very different for the club.
