Jose Mourinho says he will not end his managerial career with Manchester United and that he has a "desire to do new things".

Mourinho is midway through a three-year contract at Old Trafford after first joining the Red Devils ahead of the 2016-17 season.

The 54-year-old, who has previously said he would like to manage the Portuguese national side at the end of his career, also described Paris Saint-Germain as "special" in an interview with French television.

"What I can say is that I am still a manager with questions, with ambitions, with a desire to do new things and I do not think… I am sure that I will not finish my career here," Mourinho told Telefoot.

"The other day, my son who lives in London decided to go to Paris and not Manchester to watch a match.

"Why Paris? Because at the moment, Paris has something special. There is a magic, youthfulness and quality. It is fantastic."

Mourinho guided United to a hard-fought goalless draw against rivals Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday - a point which keeps them second in the Premier League behind Manchester City.
