Mourinho: I am where I want to be

Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of Jose Mourinho's first press conference as Manchester United manager as the Portuguese outlines his vision for success.

The former Porto, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and two-time Chelsea manager replaced Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford this summer and has wasted no time in adding to his squad.

Mourinho was quizzed on a host of subjects, not least his acrimonious departure from Stamford Bridge last December and his reaction to Ryan Giggs's decision to leave the club.

Jose Mourinho yesterday begun his first official day of work as Manchester United’s new manager.

The Portuguese coach, who was appointed as Van Gaal’s successor in May, arrived at Manchester Piccadilly train station early hours of Monday morning.

Mourinho announced his entrance via Instagram, posting a video of himself disembarking a train with the caption: "I am here/UNITED we can," plus a thumbs up emoji.
