JOSE MOURINHO has told Manchester United he is heading back to the top of football.
The Special One, sacked by United last month, insists he will not retire and is looking ahead to his next job, with Real Madrid wanting him as their next boss.
Jose Moutinho has said he is heading back to top-flight football
He told BeIN SPORTS: "I want to coach.
"I am too young, I am in football for a long, long time but I will be 56 in a couple of weeks and am really too young.
"Where I am going to stay is where I belong, I belong to top football. I belong to top-level football and [that] is where I am going to be."
Mourinho insists finishing second last season behind Manchester City and Pep Guardiola was one of his greatest achievements.

He is currently at the Asian Cup working as a pundit and added: "Sometimes we comment on what we see, but we don't know what is behind the scenes and influences what we see.
"I think that is a fundamental thing.
"If I tell you for example that I consider one of the best jobs of my career [was] to finish second with Manchester United in the Premier League, you say 'this guy is crazy - he won 25 titles...'
"But I keep saying this because people don't know what is going on behind the scenes. Sometimes we, on this side of the camera, analyse things with a different perspective."
Mourinho has been heavily linked with a return to Real Madrid, where spent three seasons between 2010 and 2013
Mourinho has reportedly ruled out a return to his former club Benfica.
However, the Portuguese has been heavily linked with a move back to Real Madrid, who would have to pay United £10million to get their ex-boss in the near future.
