Jose Mourinho Reflects on His Old Trafford Tenure, Admits He Loved His Time at Manchester United

• Mourinho spent about three years at the helm of affairs at Manchester United
• He was unceremoniously sacked in December 2018 after he lost to Liverpool
• The Portuguese won two titles at Old Trafford, including the Europa League

Jose Mourinho has reflected on his Manchester United spell that lasted about three years before he was brutally sacked.

The Portuguese took charge at Old Trafford in 2015, succeeding Louis van Gaal, who had been fired by United at the time.

While Mourinho had an arguably impressive start to life with the Red Devils, he was shown the door in December 2018 after he led the side to a 3-1 defeat against Liverpool at Anfield days earlier.

His sacking came despite his role in helping the club make a return to the Champions League and helping them win the Europa League and the Carabao Cup.

Mourinho speaks on his Man United spell

Despite his brutal sacking, the former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur boss recently disclosed he loved his time at Man United.

Speaking to Rio Ferdinand on the VIBE with FIVE podcast, the legendary tactician reflected on the atmosphere at Old Trafford, saying:

"I loved it, I loved my time there. I was so proud of going there," he said.

"I was even prouder when a couple of years later I went back as a Sky commentator with Roy Keane and felt the reaction of the crowd. I was like ‘wow’.

"I always felt like we were together in the time I was there, but to have that reaction touched me. I loved my time there," he added.

Mourinho is currently without a job following his recent sacking at AS Roma.
