London, Mar.10 (ANI): Inter-Milan football team coach Jose Mourinho has rubbished claims that he is after Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson's job.

Interviews at the weekend had quoted Mourinho saying he was ready to replace Fergie as United chief and would defeat him in the second leg.

But Mourinho said that he made no such comments.

Former Chelsea boss Mourinho's advisor Eladio Parames told SunSport last night: "Jose did not give an interview or speak with anyone about Alex Ferguson's job.

"The contents of the article are ridiculous. First, it shows a lack of respect to Sir Alex, whom Jose is a great admirer of and believes will manage Manchester United for many years to come. "Jose has a deal with Inter, which he plans to honour," he added.

"And it shows a lack of respect to Manchester United in a week in which Inter are preparing to face them in an important Champions League match," Parames said. (ANI)
