The news broke at 5.20pm
on Thursday that Mourinho had signed his contract - and he posted an image of
its front page on his new Instagram account at 9.36am on Friday.
That was just minutes
after United confirmed the former Porto, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea
boss is taking over at Old Trafford from Louis van Gaal.
Mourinho said: "To
become Manchester United manager is a special honour in the game. It is a club
known and admired throughout the world. There is a mystique and a romance about
it which no other club can match.
"I have always felt
an affinity with Old Trafford; it has hosted some important memories for me in
my career and I have always enjoyed a rapport with the United fans. I'm looking
forward to being their manager and enjoying their magnificent support in the
coming years."
In a statement, United
said: "Jose, 53, has managed at the top level of European football for
over a decade and in that time has won league titles and cups in four countries
(Portugal, England, Italy and Spain), as well as winning the UEFA Champions
League twice - in 2004 with FC Porto and in 2010 with Inter Milan."
United's executive
vice-chairman Ed Woodward said: "Jose is quite simply the best manager in
the game today.
"He has won
trophies and inspired players in countries across Europe and, of course, he
knows the Premier League very well, having won three titles here.
"I'd like to take
this opportunity to welcome him to Manchester United. His track record of
success is ideal to take the club forward."
Jose Mourinho posted simply this message
in his first post on a new Instagram account...
"Manchester United
Football Club, Old Trafford, the Theatre of Dreams"
