Jose Mourinho has told Manchester United supporters to forget the last three years in his first interview as the new manager at Old Trafford.The Portuguese was confirmed as United boss on Friday, after Sky Sports News HQ broke the news that he had signed the contract on Thursday, succeeding his sacked former mentor Louis van Gaal. Jose in numbers The impressive stats from Mourinhos career so far Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 - the year Mourinho reportedly originally wanted the job - the Reds have failed to qualify for the Champions League twice and won just one trophy - this seasons FA Cup - which proved to be Van Gaals last game in charge. Speaking to MUTV after signing his three-year-contract, Mourinho said he will give everything to restore the club to the top of world football and spoke of the affinity he has had with United supporters since he first took Porto to Old Trafford in 2004.He said: I feel great. I am honoured, I am proud, I am everything. But I am here to work and I cannot wait until July 7 to go out on the pitch. United have confirmed Mourinho has signed an initial three-year deal I think it comes in the right moment in my career because Manchester United is one of these clubs that I call a giant club. You need to be prepared for it and they need the best managers. I think I am ready.We can look at our club in two perspectives. One is the past three years, and another is the club history. I prefer to forget the past three years and focus on the history, and the giant club that I have in my hands now. Mourinho signs his contract to take over as the new United manager. Video courtesy of MUTV. I will give absolutely everything to go in the direction we want. I think the fans are expecting me to say that I want to win, and the players need to listen that I want to win.I think the players and supporters want to feel that I say that, but we can, really - its not just to say. Andy Burton recounts the day that saw Mourinho sign on the dotted line I think I know what the fans can give me. They know what I can give them. The most important thing is the players, and the relationship with the players and them.Mourinho has faced the Reds on 20 occasions in all competitions as an opposition manager, presiding over nine wins, nine draws and just two defeats, and he says he has always felt a connection with the clubs supporters. Former Chelsea and United chief executive Peter Kenyon believes Mourinho is the perfect replacement for Louis van Gaal He said: It is important and curious that I play so many times against them at Old Trafford, with other clubs, and there was empathy, no problems, and I was pushed sometimes to say things that my clubs were not happy with.I remember when we won at Old Trafford with Real Madrid [2012-13 Champions League last 16] and I said that the best team lost, and Real Madrid was not very happy.
