His most recent period at Stamford Bridge ended in December 2015 after a turbulent begin to the club's Premier League title defence, inevitably paving the way for him to sign up with United the complying with Could.
This period, Mourinho's past with Chelsea has actually become something of a sideshow to his fight with Antonio Conte.

" Detailed that sensation I was the Chelsea supervisor, for them, I believe this goes away, so the actual meaning of this game is it is 2 huge clubs playing one more match."

He said: "I have a good relation with the board. I don't forget how good they were to me in a difficult duration when my daddy left.
" They revealed they see me as a buddy, as somebody that did his best and also valued the club, so in regard to the board, they know the connection with me is always excellent.
" With the players I don't have any type of troubles, any remorses, any type of stones in my shoe, no worry in any way as well as the followers are followers. With most of them in the streets I really feel that empathy, a relationship that usually must be a link forever.
" When I dip into Stamford Bridge, some rejections from fans are simply responses."
