Jose Mourinho as officially unveiled as United manager on Tuesday, after he was sacked in December at Stamford Bridge.

Sir Alex Ferguson, former Manchester United boss as said Jose Mourinho made a wrong decision in returning to Chelsea for a second spell.

It was the second time the Portuguese was dismissed by Roman Abramovich and Ferguson says he should never have gone back.

“I thought Jose was wrong to go back to Chelsea, I really do,” Ferguson told Sky Sports at a charity event.

“I think it’s always difficult going back to somewhere for a second time.

“The ability, charisma and personality, his success is high, won a European Cup twice with different clubs, won a Europa [League] with Porto, winning titles with all the teams he’s managed. His record – you can’t ignore that.

“I think Manchester United is the right kind of club for him, I really do. I think we’ll do well.”
