(Reuters) - Jose Mourinho said on Wednesday that he still had a future in football following his sacking as Manchester United manager, but he would not talk about his departure out of the "deepest respect" for his former colleagues. "Manchester United has a future without me and I have a future without United," Mourinho told Sky Sports. Mourinho, who replaced Dutchman Louis van Gaal in May 2016, won the Europa League and League Cup in his first season. We could speak about so many good things, not as good, but that's not me. Mourinho later added in a statement issued to British media that he had the "deepest respect" for his former colleagues after 2-1/2 years in charge of United.
