The Story in Brief
Jose Mourinho has revealed he signed with Manchester United in 2013 to replace Sir Alex Ferguson, but changed his mind and returned to Chelsea instead. In an upcoming Netflix documentary, the Portuguese manager said that after leaving Real Madrid, he needed to feel loved, which prompted his decision. Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed Mourinho's claim in the documentary, saying he offered the job and believed Mourinho had accepted before he changed his mind hours later. Mourinho eventually joined United in 2016 after David Moyes and Louis van Gaal. He won two trophies in his first season.

The 'what if' game never ends for Manchester United fans. Mourinho's documentary claim will revive the debate over David Moyes' disastrous appointment. But Ferguson himself confirmed he thought Mourinho had accepted. Yet Mourinho chose Chelsea because he 'needed to feel loved'. That is the part fans should focus on. The question is not whether United picked wrong. It is why a manager at the top of his game did not trust the club to give him what he needed.
