Jose Mourinho

I have always felt an affinity with Old Trafford; it has hosted some important memories for me in my career, and I have always enjoyed a rapport with the United fans.

I remember playing at Old Trafford, and the way to the dugout was always nice. It was never like in other stadiums.

Once, players came to football expecting to be wealthy when they retired. Now, they expect to be wealthy before they've played their first game!

The way I use to develop an aerobic condition is three against three, man to man, in a square 20 metres by 20.

In the same way that I had to follow an Italian manager here, I can imagine that it was not easy for an Italian manager to follow me at Porto.

Facing the press is not easy, but because you have to go, you have to try to take a lot of positive things for yourself from these face-to-face meetings.

Look at the way teams play against Arsenal. They don't believe they can win. They don't believe.

I feel I have a lot to learn from English football and I am completely open to good influences in my way of thinking football. But I also have things to give them.

And I think because of the passion of every English player and every English supporter, and every English journalist for the game, most of the game is played with passion, love for football and instinct, but in football you also have to think.

At the very least we should be given a bit of credit and a little bit of space, and maybe the media should think we could help them discover why English teams do not win European competitions.

So when they have Mourinho and Benitez joining the Premiership they should say it's good for us, maybe these guys have something new to give.

Especially when you play at home, you need a good atmosphere behind you.

In five years I have never had a match where my team has had less possession than the opponents.

So if one day the result becomes 3-3, for me it doesn't change my mind, because it's football, it's normal. What is not normal is that we haven't been scoring enough goals playing such good football as we've been playing in the last few weeks.

I prefer to play against the best players and the best teams and the best coaches. Never personal.

The Porto players were with me for two and a half years, they believed in me, in my methods, in the way we do it. The next day I go and a manager arrives who works completely differently.

So I know all about the ups and downs of football, I know that one day I will be sacked.

In football, the only game I know is the 90-minutes game. It's not mind games; I don't try to do that.

I know one of my best qualities is to read the game for my players, is to read the opponent, is to identify every detail about the opponent.

I think the best place to work in football is England.
