Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has said that he never dreamed of being the Manchester United manager.
Mourinho had been on top of the list to replace Sir Alex Ferguson after enjoying success at Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, but eventually lost out to David Moyes.
Mourinho also revealed that he and Ferguson had discussions about his planned return to Chelsea and the retirement plans of the Scot.
“I never have these dreams, I’m focused on my club, I don’t think of any other thing. I was always on the touchline at Old Trafford thinking, ‘How can I win this match?”, said Mourinho.

However, Moyes said that he understands why Mourinho would have been a candidate to replace Sir Alex Ferguson.
“There was a perception at one time that Jose Mourinho would get this job and quite rightly so, He should have been seen as that. He’s probably the best of the young, modern managers. Quite rightly, he should have been attracting all the top jobs. He’s a coach who makes tactical changes, depending on how his team is playing”, said Moyes.
Chelsea will travel to the theatre of dreams on Monday for the first real test of the season for both teams.
