Jose Mourinho reportedly turned down an offer to return to Real Madrid to replace Rafa Benitez as he's waiting for the Manchester United job.

Mourinho is confident of his chances of succeeding Louis van Gaal as United manager at the end of the season.

Mourinho was fired by Chelsea just a few months after winning the title in his second season back at the club.

Both Mourinho and United believe it would be better for him to take over the club at the end of the season rather than as a midseason replacement.
