(Reuters) - Jose Mourinho said on Wednesday that he still had a future in football following his sacking as Manchester United manager, but he would not talk about his departure out of the "deepest respect" for his former colleagues.

United sacked Mourinho on Tuesday after suffering their worst start to a season for 28 years and replaced him with former striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer until the end of the current Premier League campaign.
