Mourinho details contract to replace Ferguson at Manchester United

Jose Mourinho revealed he signed a contract to become Manchester United's manager in 2013, intended to replace Sir Alex Ferguson. In a Netflix documentary, he described a tearful call with Ferguson explaining his decision to stay with Chelsea instead. Mourinho eventually took charge of United in 2016 but was dismissed after two-and-a-half years without winning a Premier League title. The decision not to appoint Mourinho in 2013 left United struggling in the transfer market and under David Moyes, who failed to replicate Ferguson's success. Speculation lingers on how different the Premier League might have been had Mourinho taken over earlier.
