Mourinho was dismissed by United with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer succeeding him as caretaker manager
Mourinho remains out of work having been sacked by the Red Devils last December, but he hopes to be back in the game before the start of 2019/20 pre-season.
He was previously linked with returning to Real Madrid when Santiago Solari was under severe pressure, though Zinedine Zidane accepted the opportunity of reclaiming the Bernabeu hotseat as his own, despite resigning from the post just ten months prior.
Other top European clubs are believed to have considered the possibility of hiring Mourinho, including Inter Milan – another of his former clubs – as well as Paris Saint-Germain.
