Jose Mourinho On Real Madrid Rumours & Chelsea Scuffle

Jose Mourinho On Real Madrid Rumours & Chelsea Scuffle

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has commented on rumours linking him with a return to Real Madrid, while also addressing his heated touchline scuffle with a Chelsea coach.

The Portuguese manager addressed the media ahead of his side's UEFA Champions League clash with Juventus on Tuesday.

One of the Spanish journalists asked Mourinho about a potential return to Los Blancos, where Julen Lopetegui is under massive pressure, but Mourinho dismissed such talk.

"I am happy here, I am happy to see out my contract and I would like to stay after my contract runs out," he said, as quoted by Sky Sports.

"All I am thinking about is Manchester United."

The 55-year-old also spoke about his touchline scuffle with Chelsea coach Marco Ianni, who celebrated the Blues's late 2-2 equalizer right infront of Mourinho and his assistants, which enraged the United boss.

"I don't think he deserves more than what he got. He apologised to me - I accept his apology, I think he deserves a second chance, I don't think he deserves or to be sacked," Mourinho said, after Phil Neville called for Ianni's sacking.

"The fact is his club was strong with him and he went through a situation he recognises he was wrong.

"So I hope everybody does the same as I did, which is not to disturb a career of a young guy, which is probably a great guy, is probably a coach of great potential and I'm not happy with it being more than that."
