Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho denies coveting the Manchester United job.

Mourinho has revealed that Sir Alex Ferguson never considered him to be his successor at Manchester United.

"Every manager in the world looks at Man United as a huge club but I wanted to come to Chelsea," he said during an interview for a BBC documentary.

"And we didn't bring that to the table because we were so open and he knows so much about myself that he knew that for almost a season, I want to leave Real Madrid and I want to come to Chelsea."
