Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho was DESPERATE to land the Liverpool manager's job, former Reds star Danny Murphy has told talkSPORT.
Mourinho has long been seen as the enemy on Merseyside after sparking a fierce feud between Liverpool and Chelsea during his time in charge at Stamford Bridge.
And that relationship only intensified following his appointment at Old Trafford this summer.
But what few people know is that the ‘Special One’ was keen on the Anfield job before his successful first stint with the Blues, and was 'massively disappointed' when he ultimately missed out on the role to Rafael Benitez.
