Jose Mourinho has revealed in his Netflix documentary that he once signed an agreement to become Manchester United's manager in 2013, before ultimately deciding to join Chelsea. The agreement was reached after Mourinho departed from Real Madrid. In the documentary, Mourinho shared that he was honoured by the offer from Manchester United, a club he considers very close to his heart.
However, he later informed former club boss Sir Alex Ferguson that he could not take up the position due to a previous commitment to Chelsea. Ferguson, who retired at the end of the 2012/13 season, acknowledged Mourinho's decision but expressed disappointment. Mourinho eventually took over as Chelsea manager in 2013, while Ferguson was replaced by David Moyes at United.
Mourinho returned to United in 2016, succeeding Louis van Gaal. During his tenure at Old Trafford, he won the Europa League, Carabao Cup, and Community Shield.
