'Let me walk' - Mourinho back in London but refuses to talk about Man Utd exit

  /  autty

Jose Mourinho refused to answer questions about his future as he took a stroll the day after being sacked by Manchester United.

His tumultuous two-and-a-half year spell at Old Trafford came to an end on Tuesday, and he has returned to the family home in London having stayed in the Lowry Hotel during his time in Manchester.

Mourinho was approached by Sky Sports News as he walked down the street, but he was not in the mood to discuss his future in management.

Asked about his next move, Mourinho said: 'No, you know me. You know me. Let me walk. I have nothing to say. You know me, if you want to walk with me then let's walk to Battersea. I have nothing to say.'

Mourinho wore a grey tracksuit, with a blue cap and t-shirt, as he walked near his home in the capital city on Wednesday afternoon.

He was dismissed by United on Tuesday morning, 48 hours after they lost 3-1 to rivals Liverpool to continue an abysmal start to the league season.

United have just 26 points from 17 league games, their lowest ever tally at this stage of a Premier League season.

Mourinho, despite winning the EFL Cup and Europa League at Old Trafford, saw his time at the club overshadowed by rocky relationships with the media, club officials and his own players, notably Paul Pogba.

However he could be set for a well paid return to football in the summer, with reports suggesting Real Madrid are keen to bring him back to the Bernabeu.

Spanish newspaper El Pais report Real would look to pay him €20million (£18m) annually after increasing an initial offer of €15m (£13.5m). Discussions have taken place since October.

Real are also reportedly planning to appoint him on July 1, as that would mean avoiding a €5m (£4.5m) penalty fee to United.
