Man Utd boss Mourinho tells pals: Anyother club I'd have walked

Jose Mourinho says he would've quit anyother club for everything he's experienced at Manchester United.

The Mirror says he is so frustrated by what he sees as a lack of backing from Ed Woodward that he is said to have told friends he would have walked out in protest.

Mourinho is still seething over United executive vice-chairman Woodward's failure to land the summer transfer targets he identified months ago.

A source said Mourinho had privately confided that “any other job at any other club and I would have quit", which shows the depth of the 55-year-old's anger at his current predicament.

Mourinho is determined to succeed at United and was handed a vote of confidence by Woodward last January when he signed a new two-year contract extension, amid heightened speculation over his future.
