Mourinho says he agreed to replace Ferguson at Man Utd

Jose Mourinho has revealed he had agreed to become Manchester United manager after Sir Alex Ferguson retired, according to BBC Sport.

In a new documentary, Mourinho says he was lined up to take over at Old Trafford in 2013, but it was David Moyes who ultimately replaced Ferguson.

Mourinho's account suggests things could have been very different, as he discusses the events leading up to the change of manager at the club.

The appointment was one of the most talked-about in recent Premier League history, and the documentary now adds a fresh twist to that story. Readers can find related match highlights on this site.
