    Jose Mourinho has said he does not plan on signing a new contract with Manchester United imminently, but has played down suggestions he will leave for Paris Saint-Germain.

    In an interview conducted with French television that aired at the weekend, the 54-year-old Portuguese dismissed the possibility of ending his managerial career at Old Trafford.

    He also spoke of his interest in PSG’s bid to shake up the established order in Europe with their recent recruitment.

    After that interview, speculation emerged that Mourinho was about to put pen to paper on a lucrative new contract with United.

    However, speaking in Portugal ahead of United’s Champions League clash with Benfica, Mourinho told a press conference that as far as he was concerned, nothing was about to change with his employment.

    “I think you (in the) English media, you have the answer for that,” Mourinho said, when asked about how he saw his future.

    “Because in one day it says that I’m going to sign a five-year contract, one-billion pounds per season and then the next day you say that I’m leaving and I’m going to Paris Saint-Germain.

    “I think that’s the answer – the answer is that nothing is happening. I’m not signing a new five-year contract and I’m not leaving for Paris Saint-Germain. I’m at Manchester United, I have a contract and that’s it.”

    Mourinho joined United in 2016 on a three-year contract with the option to stay until at least 2020.
