Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes that former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is unlikely to return to English football in the near future.

The Portuguese parted company with the Blues just over a month ago, having enjoyed a trophy-laden three years in charge at Stamford Bridge.

Now Ferguson expects his former adversary to head to either Spain or Italy to take up a new challenge.

He told the League Managers Association website: "I don't know if he will come back into the English game, I'm not sure of that.

"I think Jose will end up at a top team in Spain or Italy, I'm almost certain of that.

"There certainly is no-one on the radar at the moment obviously, he's taking a break and I think he's aiming to come back fresh.

"I don't think there's any problem about him coming back into management, I think it's where he comes back in and I don't think anyone has any clues to that at this moment in time."
