The Portuguese manager reportedly told Harry Kane that Spurs have better players than Manchester United, in a bid to keep him at the club. At the time, Man United were plotting a move to sign Harry Kane in the January transfer window with Ole Gunnar Solskjear keen to bolster his attacking department.

Jose Mourinho also claimed that he arrived at Tottenham to win trophies, citing Harry Kane as a major part of his plans for the future. Mourinho was in charge of Man United for two and a half seasons between 2016-18 and won the League Cup and Europa League with the Red Devils. In December 2018, Mourinho was sacked by Man United after a series of disappointing results and with signs of improvement.
