LONDON: Jose Mourinho said on Wednesday that he still had a future in football following his sacking as Manchester United manager, but he would not talk about his departure out of the “deepest respect” for his former colleagues.


“Manchester United has a future without me and I have a future without United,” Mourinho told Sky Sports. “Why should I be sharing more now, even with the supporters, any of my feelings? It’s over. That’s the way I’ve always been.


“I’ve been critical of managers that leave clubs and speak about what’s happened and who’s to blame. That’s not me. I just want to finish like it happened yesterday and I’d like to say it’s game over. I hope you media respect this way for me to be.


“Until I get back to football I have my right to live my normal life. That’s what I want to do. United is the past.”


However, the former Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid boss said he would retain positive memories of his time at Old Trafford and not focus on what went wrong.


“I keep the good things and I don’t speak about anything that happened in the club. We could speak about so many good things, not as good, but that’s not me. It’s finished.”


Mourinho later added in a statement issued to British media that he had the “deepest respect” for his former colleagues after 2-1/2 years in charge of United. — Reuters
