Jose Mourinho is on his way to Manchester United, according to Inter Milan director Bedy Moratti.

There were suggestions the former Chelsea boss could be heading back to Italy.

But Moratti, the sister of former Inter president Massimo, says he is on his way to Old Trafford.

When asked if he was coming back to the San Siro, Moratti - who had just had lunch with the Portuguese manager - told Calcio Mercato reporters: “No, he’s happy now, he’s going to Manchester.”

She then added: “Of course he’s always fantastic and we missed him as a person here.”

Speaking about his future earlier this week, Mourinho told La Stampa: “My next challenge, my next club? I really don’t know.

“I just know that I love football and I will be back with the same passion and ambition as ever, having during this period a respectful behaviour to every manager and every club.

“I don’t search for clubs, clubs search for me.”

Mourinho also spoke about going back to Inter Milan to see Moratti, but revealed he had no intention of becoming the Serie A side's new manager.

He said: "I go for a day in Milan to personally say thanks to my president Mister Moratti.

“I left Inter in 2010 and since then work was hard every day in Madrid and Chelsea, and it was difficult to find a moment to have lunch with the Moratti family.

“We agreed on this Saturday a few weeks ago, and yes, after a family day we will go to San Siro, with an ‘Interista’ spirit,with the hope and the happiness to see Inter win.

“It will be a great emotion for me – San Siro and the Interisti - but let me make it clear... I will not be Inter manager next season.

“Inter has a project, a project that belongs to Mister Thohir and Mister Roberto Mancini, a project that I totally support and wish will end in success."
