Rio Ferdinand describes Jose Mourinho as a "true winner" and a "wounded animal"

Rio Ferdinand calls Jose Mourinho a "true winner" whose recent troubles at Chelsea have made him a "wounded animal" eager to make amends at Manchester United.

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has described Jose Mourinho as a "true winner" whose recent troubles at Chelsea have made him a "wounded animal" eager to put things right.

Multiple reports have claimed that the former Blues boss has put pen to paper on a contract at Old Trafford, though this is yet to be confirmed by the Red Devils.

The 53-year-old has enjoyed two successful stints at Stamford Bridge, but despite winning the title in his first full season back at Chelsea in 2014-15, he was sacked after a poor start to the following campaign.

Ferdinand told BBC Sport: "One thing I can tell Manchester United fans is that they have got themselves a true winner in all aspects. His CV shows success.

"After his recent unsuccessful time at Chelsea in the final year, I can assure you this winner is now a wounded animal which makes him such a mouthwatering appointment."

Mourinho has also managed Porto, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid.
