Jose Mourinho wants to lead a club in "a difficult league" and "where I am truly wanted."

Chelsea fired Mourinho in December and he's been linked to Manchester United ever since.

"I'll take my ideas to where they are wanted. I need to feel comfortable and I like to be where I am truly wanted," he said.

"I want to work in a club with responsibilities, I want to work in a club with a difficult league, where there are no easy targets. Within these possibilities, there are not many options for me. Calmly, we will decide."

There have been reports Mourinho already has a pre-agreement in place with United.
