Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has told Benfica to move on from him.

Record says Mourinho was sounded out about a return to his homeland following the sacking of Rui Vitoria.

He was approached but despite not giving them an outright 'no' he indicated returning to Benfica is not in his plans at the moment.

Even the high wages of Mourinho was not considered a problem for Benfica bosses - who believed his benefits far outweigh the outlay.

Mourinho was sacked as Manchester United manager in December.
