Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has said that he is "hungry" to return to management, but he is waiting for the right offer to come along.

The 56-year-old has been out of work since being sacked by United in December following the club's worst ever start to a Premier League campaign.

Mourinho has been linked with numerous lucrative jobs since then, including an offer from a Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande to become the best-paid manager in the world.

A return to the dugout is on the cards for the Portuguese, but he is happy to bide his time.

"I am hungry to get back, but I will wait for the right club, for the right project," he told Sky Sports News.

"In the meantime, I am doing things I like to do. I prefer to work, but I like other sports and this is a good opportunity to enjoy."

Mourinho won the EFL Cup and Europa League during his two-and-a-half seasons with United.
