  • Jose Mourinho has dismissed speculation about his future at Manchester United by restating his belief that he is “one of the greatest managers in the world”.

    The 55-year-old, who introduced himself to English football in 2004 as “the special one”, told reporters on Friday that he would still be special even if he fails at United.

    “I am the manager of the one of the greatest clubs in the world but I’m also one of the greatest managers in the world,” said Mourinho.

    “I repeat, I have won eight titles (as a manager). I’m the only manager to win in Italy, Spain and England.

    “Not small titles, proper titles, and my second last season was one of my greatest achievements in football.”

    The Red Devils face Burnley away on Sunday and Mourinho was spotted scouting at Turf Moor during the Clarets’ Europa League qualifying clash against Olympiacos on Thursday night.
