Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has backed David Moyes as the right man to take the Manchester United role once Sir Alex Ferguson steps down. Jose Mourinho is widely expected to return to Chelsea at the end of the current season.
Speculation was rife last week that Jose Mourinho could be the man to take charge of Man Utd after Sir Alex Ferguson retires, but instead Man United chose Everton man David Moyes.
"When Sir Alex called me to give me the honour of knowing from him his decision, I was surprised and sad," Mourinho said.
"At the same time, I was happy to feel his emotion, and pride for such an amazing career.
"It will be difficult for me, and I think all managers, to go to Old Trafford and play against Manchester United, without this mythical figure waiting for us.
"I think David is a great choice. I like him as a person, I like his character as a manager. I believe Manchester United will support him, I think he has the qualities to do a good job.
"I wish Sir Alex a happy life, and I wish David a successful career at Old Trafford."
