Jose Mourinho joked on Wednesday that he could still get a Premier League winners’ medal should Manchester City have titles taken off them following the outcome of their case relating to 115 alleged rules breaches.
The former Manchester United boss finished second to the blue side of the city in the 2017-18 season, his last full campaign at Old Trafford, in addition to winning the Europa League.
“As you know, we won the Europa League [in 2017] and we finished second in the Premier League [in 2018],” he said.
“I think we still have a chance to win that league because maybe they punish Man City with points and maybe we win that league and then they have to pay me the bonus and give me the medal.”

“Sooner or later they [Manchester United] will succeed,” the 61-year-old Portuguese added.
“Hopefully it is sooner, hopefully before one day I go back to the Premier League and they become my opponent.
“At this moment they are just my opponents for one match.”
