Jose Mourinho says there is a ‘chance’ that he could still land a Premier League title for Manchester United.
The legendary manager is out of work having left Roma and recent reports suggested that he would be interested in a second stint at Old Trafford.
Mourinho spent two-and-a-half-years in charge of United, registering a Europa League trophy, a Carabao Cup title and a runner-up Premier League finish.
The 61-year-old was dismissed after a poor start in 2018-19, with just seven wins from 17 top-flight games leaving United 19 points behind the league leaders.
While Mourinho has described rumours of a second spell at United as ‘not true’, he feels there is still a way he can deliver a Premier League title for the Red Devils.
‘Maybe there is a chance we win that league no?’ Mourinho told Rio Ferdinand on the VIBE with FIVE podcast on Thursday.
‘If Man City is caught in Financial Fair Play breaking the rules, maybe they lose a few points and we win that [2017-18] title. We did the best we could do.’

Speaking more generally about his time as United manager, Mourinho said: ‘I loved it, I loved my time there. I was so proud of going there.
‘I was even prouder when a couple of years later I went back as a Sky commentator with Roy Keane and felt the reaction of the crowd. I was like ‘wow’.
‘I always felt like we were together in the time I was there, but to have that reaction touched me. I loved my time there.
