Jose Mourinho has claimed that he would happily extend his Manchester United contract even though Chinese pay-offer is attractive.
The Portuguese took over at Old Trafford this summer and after a slow start has adjusted to life in the North-East of England.
FootTheBall sources claim that the 53-year-old has worked his magic at the United hierarchy and they are willing to extend his stay at the club beyond the current contract that expires in 2019.
Jose Mourinho added that although the filthy riches of China were very luring, but he would rather stay at Manchester United and build a dynasty.
“China money is attractive for everyone, but I love my football at the highest level more,” he said. “[I’m] Too young, 53, too young, [have] too many years of football to go to a place like China.”
“I want to stay in the most difficult place to win, so I’m in the right place. [United] didn’t [offer me a new contract]. And I’m not expecting them to do that, because they gave me a three-year contract.”
“They are being super supportive with me, and always gave me the feeling that three years is not the time I am going to stay here, I always had the feeling that I am going to stay for more time.”
“They know that I’m loving it, at every level, I’m loving my job at Manchester United, and they know that if one day they bring the contract, I will sign it, I don’t even need my advisers, I’ll sign because I am loving it.”
Jose is preparing his Red Devils for the final two games of this year after notching up three straight wins in the Premier League that has seen the Old Trafford club to sixth place in the league – just three points behind fifth placed Spurs.
