Jose Mourinho was paid a staggering £4million by Manchester United not to take a job elsewhere while they decided the future of Louis van Gaal. An agreement was reached midway through the season to give United the option of bringing him in if Van Gaal failed to meet their targets. Sportsmail can also reveal that Mourinho refused to accept a 'behavioural clause' in his five-year, £75m deal despite concerns among the United hierarchy over his eccentric touchline behaviour.

From Sky Sports: Sources close to the deal have told us the negotiations were “easy”, mainly due to Mourinho’s overwhelming desire to become Manchester United manager.
But if the 4 million bit is true makes your post look daft.If he was that keen surely the 4 mill would not of been needed.

'IF'? So funny, everybody knew he was a dead man walking as soon as Chelsea sacked Jose. So clearly they wanted Jose before but pledged his allegiance with Chelsea and you ended up with a sweaty sock 'the false messiah' maybe you can now reinstate the 'chosen one' banners without embarrassment.
Poor old Ossie, never thinks things through. I feel like calling him IQ86 just to put things in perspective.
I imagine he doesn't like him as much, also... he wasn't as good as jose tbf; thats why jose is at utd, while rafa is gearing up to take on huddersfield et. al..(while the team that sacked him drinks champers from the CL trophy).
