Mourinho refuses to make any comments on his sacking
Jose Mourinho was living on borrowed time at Old Trafford after a lacklustre start to the season and the 3-1 defeat against Liverpool last week was enough for the club hierarchy to pull the trigger on the Special One.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been appointed as the interim manager with immediate effect following the end of Mourinho’s two and a half year reign at the club. And the former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss has said that he will not make any comments on his sacking out of the deepest respect for his former colleagues.
“I have been immensely proud to wear the badge of Manchester United since the first day I arrived, and I believe all United fans recognise this,” Mourinho said in a statement.
“Each time a chapter is closed, I show my deepest respect by not making any comments about my former colleagues.”
Mourinho has gone back to his home in London, and the former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss has also asked the media to respect his privacy before he returns to football.
Speaking to Sky Sports News earlier on Wednesday, he said: “I was always very critical of managers that leave clubs and then they come out and they speak about the details of what happened, who is to blame.
“I could speak about the not-so-good, but that’s not me.
“Until I get back to football, I feel I have the right to live my normal life.
“Manchester United has a future without me and I have a future without Manchester United.”
