Mourinho denies Man Utd extension, but PSG...

Jose Mourinho has blamed the media for claiming he wants to one day join Paris Saint Germain.

The Manchester United manager described the Ligue 1 club as 'special' on French television last week.

However, the Portuguese, who is halfway through his three-year contract with United, says he is not close to signing an extension - but he's also not interested in joining PSG.

"You English media have the answer for that because one day it says I am going to sign a five-year contract for one billion pounds for a season," Mourinho said.

"Then the next day you say that I am leaving and going to Paris Saint-Germain.

"The answer is that nothing is happening. I am not signing a new five-year contract and I am not leaving for Paris Saint-Germain.

"I am at Manchester United. I have a contract and that is it. My answer was that I wouldn't end my career at United - after that some people tried to be clever, tried to be malicious. The reality is simple: I didn't sign a new contract but I'm not thinking of leaving too."
