Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has hinted Jose Mourinho wanted to sign one of his players for Manchester United last summer.
The sacked United manager has been linked with coach Bruno Genesio's job at OL this summer.
But Aulas revealed: "José Mourinho? I saw him this summer in Moscow.
"We discussed a little, but not to talk about coming to Lyon but recruitment.
"The Special One is not compatible with our economy."
