Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says he's turned down several offers to return to management.

Mourinho exited United in December after a run of poor form, including a defeat against fierce rivals Liverpool in the Premier League.

Speaking to beIN Sports France, he said: "It's been three-and-a-half months since I last managed a club and I am preparing to do it again.

"When you are in the world of football, between press conferences, games, video sessions, match analysis and daily problems, you never have time for yourself. I have therefore used the last few months to reboot.

"The position of a coach is special and I enjoy the daily work. I want to return this summer, starting from June, for the beginning of the season."

Mourinho added: "I know exactly what I don't want, which is why I have already turned down three or four offers.

"I also know what I do want. I don't mean the name of the club, but the type of work, the style of club. I know what I want and I hope to get it."
