'Give me the money!' - Jose Mourinho not giving up on belated Man Utd Premier League winner's medal as Fenerbahce boss hopes for Man City FFP punishment & 'bonus' payment

Fenerbahce boss Mourinho is currently preparing to take on former club Manchester United in the Europa League. Ahead of Thursday's match, Mourinho has looked back on his time with the Red Devils and admitted he hasn't yet given up hope of being handed a Premier League winner's medal. Mourinho guided United to a second-placed finish in the 2017-18 campaign, finishing behind local rivals Manchester City, and the Portuguese boss thinks there's still a chance that his team can be crowned champions if City are found guilty of breaching FFP rules and are stripped of their titles.

He told reporters: "As you know, we won the Europa League, we finished second in the Premier League. I think we still have a chance to win that league if they punish Manchester City. And then they have to pay me the bonus and give me the money! I wish the best to Manchester United since the day I Ieft, I want the best for them."

Mourinho was sacked by Manchester United in 2018 after two-and-a-half years in charge of the club. During that time he won the League Cup and the Europa League but couldn't deliver a Premier League title. Mourinho did manage to secure runners-up spot for United, an achievement he has subsequently claimed "was one of his best achievements in football" because "people don’t know what is going on behind the scenes." Meanwhile, Manchester City could face punishment if found guilty over their alleged 115 breaches of Premier League rules. It's been claimed sanctions could range from points deductions, relegation or even the possibility of being stripped of their league titles.

Mourinho has not enjoyed the best of starts to life with Fenerbahce. His team are currently down in fourth place in the league table and he has been accused of "generating unhappiness and hopelessness" in the dressing room. The self-titled 'Special One' will hope to get one over his former side on Thursday, while United are in need of a win after opening their Europa League campaign with two draws.
