Mourinho discusses 2013 United contract
In 2013, José Mourinho had signed a contract to manage Manchester United as a successor to Sir Alex Ferguson, but he withdrew from completing the deal and re-signed with Chelsea. He revealed in a documentary on Netflix that Mourinho had actually agreed to manage United at the same time he was working with Chelsea, and that he felt at that moment that he loved football more than he loved the club. He confirmed that leaving Real Madrid and signing with United was a significant moment, expressing his appreciation for Manchester United's appeal, although he said that his love for the club was stronger than his love for football in general. Ferguson also mentioned in the film that Mourinho called him crying, announcing that he couldn't accept United's offer because he had promised Chelsea, expressing disappointment. Mourinho managed Chelsea and won important titles with them before leaving in 2015.
