Mourinho reveals Sir Alex Ferguson's one piece of Man Utd advice

Jose Mourinho has revealed the one piece of advice Sir Alex Ferguson gave him during his two-and-a-half years at Manchester United.

The former Chelsea boss became the Red Devils' manager in 2016 and won three trophies during a turbulent tenure at Old Trafford before departing the club in December 2018.

Mourinho has since replaced Mauricio Pochettino as Tottenham coach and incidentally linked up with the one player Ferguson had told him to sign at United.
