United are then free to pursue the likes of Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino next summer.
And the Special One has now spoken to Sky Sports after being sacked by United, however, Mourinho was far from talkative.
Sky Sports’ Gary Cotterill caught Mourinho outside his London home, with the reporter asking the Portuguese: “Thank you for coming out for a walk!”
To which Mourinho replied: “Can I come for a walk or not? You don’t have to thank me.”

The former United boss was then pressed if there’s anything he wants to say after being sacked, with Mourinho responding: “No. You know me. Let me walk. Let me walk.
“I have nothing to say. You know me. If you want to walk with me, lets go to Battersea! No problem for me.”
Cotterill then asked Mourinho if he had any plans for the future, however, the Special One was brash in his response once again.

And Solskjaer, who played for United for 11 years, returns as a club legend and hopes to put a smile back on the fans faces.
“Manchester United is in my heart and it’s brilliant to be coming back in this role. I’m really looking forward to working with the very talented squad we have, the staff and everyone at the club,” said Solskjaer.
Woodward, who pulled the trigger and opted to axe Mourinho this week, added: “Ole is a club legend with huge experience, both on the pitch and in coaching roles.
"His history at Manchester United means he lives and breathes the culture here and everyone at the club is delighted to have him and Mike Phelan back.

"We are confident they will unite the players and the fans as we head into the second half of the season.”
Woodward is expected to splash the cash in the January transfer window in hope of securing a top four finish this season.
It’s understood United will try and sign two players - a defender and a winger - to improve the squad next month.
A key reason behind Mourinho’s exit was his falling out with Woodward over transfers.
The Special One demanded a new centre-half, however, Woodward refused to back his manager.
United ended up signing Fred, Diogo Dalot and Lee Grant, much to the frustration of Mourinho.
United are back in action on Saturday evening against Cardiff in the Premier League, with Solskjaer set to face his old side.
Solskjaer will take his first press conference as United boss on Friday.
