Jose Mourinho has firmly denied speculation linking him with the vacant managerial position at Manchester United, insisting ‘no job’ could take him away from Chelsea.

Mourinho is one of a host of names which have been linked with succeeding David Moyes at Old Trafford, after the Scot was sacked earlier this week.

But the Blues boss says he has no desire to quit Stamford Bridge, no matter who comes calling.

‘Of course not. How can somebody think about it?’ he said.


‘I left Real Madrid to come to Chelsea specifically, no job would remove me from Chelsea.

‘I signed a four-year contract with Chelsea.



‘I told Chelsea they never have to worry about me because I don’t want to leave. I stay as long as the club wants me to stay.’

Louis van Gaal is the current favourite to take the hot seat at Old Trafford when he leaves his role as Dutch national team boss after this summer’s World Cup.

Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp ruled himself out of the running yesterday, while Carlo Ancelotti today insisted he remains happy at Real Madrid.
