It's highly likely all the club's have known for a few weeks he was effectively sacked. Wasn't he in meetings with Levy before the int break? The departure was probably very civil and he agreed to do background work for a bit before he left. He seems like a nice guy so, not out of character for that to happen. Prior to getting the job Mourinho hasn't spoken too favourable about Tottenham as a pundit. It's likely he was only asked as the int break started. I think Poch has been connecting with quite a few clubs now. Unfortunately for Man Utd, Woodward only recently defended Solskjær and would look a fool for sacking him.
