Jose Mourinho says he would sign a new contract at Manchester United without thinking twice, despite admitting the money in Chinese football is "attractive".
The Portuguese manager took over at Old Trafford in the summer from Louis van Gaal, and has his side sitting in sixth place after a mixed start to his stint.
In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports News HQ, the 53-year-old admits that while the money in Chinese football is attractive, he is too young and loves working at United too much to consider leaving, adding that he would sign a new contract "without his advisers".
Mourinho says he loves all aspects of his job at United
Asked if the club have offered him a new contract, Mourinho said: "They didn't! And I'm not expecting them to do that, because they gave me a three-year contract.
"They are being super supportive with me, and always gave me the feeling that three years is not the time I am going to stay here, I always had the feeling that I am going to stay for more time.
"They know that I'm loving it, at every level, I'm loving my job at Manchester United, and they know that if one day they bring the contract, I will sign it, I don't even need my advisers, I'll sign because I am loving it.
"China money is attractive for everyone, but I love my football at the highest level more. Too young, 53, too young, too many years of football to go to a place like China.
"I want to stay in the most difficult place to win, so I'm in the right place."
