Jose Mourinho expects Premier League return after Real Madrid

Jose Mourinho says he will return to England when he leaves Real Madrid - but reckons he will not get the chance to replace Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.

Mourinho, whose side face United in Wednesday's UEFA Champions League last-16 first leg, is tipped to leave the Bernabeu in the summer after a dismal Spanish title defence and amid reports he has fallen out with several key players.
The former Chelsea boss refused to clarify whether or not he would be at Real next season but confirmed his desire to be back in the Premier League.

He told reporters: "I will go back to England after Real Madrid. We will see (when that is).
"I love everything (about England). England will be my next step."
Mourinho has been linked with Manchester City and former club Chelsea but joked he would not take over from 71-year-old Ferguson.
"No," he said, when asked if he could replace the Scot. "I think we have to end our career at the same time. Him at 90 and me at 70."

"Real Madrid have won nine, I have won two. Real Madrid wants to win its 10th. I want my third."

Real are a massive 16 points behind arch-rivals Barcelona in La Liga but Mourinho warned his critics to hold fire, insisting he was gunning to steer the club to a record 10th Champions League crown.
"At the end we can assess the season," he added.
"There are great clubs in the world who have never won this competition.
"Real Madrid have won nine, I have won two. Real Madrid wants to win its 10th. I want my third."
Mourinho insists he is still enjoying his work and midfielder Michael Essien claimed the manager always has a smile on his face.
However, there is no escaping his fractious relationship with those who follow Madrid's fortunes so closely, as he pointed out when asked to comment on the Spanish newspaper depiction of Wayne Rooney as a "hooligan" this morning.

"I didn't read it," said Mourinho. "I don't know if it was written in that context, calling him a hooligan, or completely different.
"But if I can say one thing on behalf of Rooney, I was called worse than that, week by week."

‘iPhone 5S': Photos Of New iPhone Surfaces

New photos of Apple’s alleged ‘iPhone 5S’ have surfaced on a Chinese technology website, supposedly revealing that, just as the iPhone 4S looked basically identical to the iPhone 4, Apple’s newest upcoming iPhone model will look identical to the current flagship iPhone 5.

According to the rumor, Apple’s new iPhone 5S is already in production.

The photos, if real, were certainly hurriedly snapped by someone fearfully of being caught and are poor quality, but do show electronic calipers in almost every shot reveal relative size, apparently the same as the iPhone 5.

Football updates: Sturridge misses Brazil game

England striker Daniel Sturridge has been ruled out of Wednesday's friendly international against Brazil @ Wembley due to a thigh injury. Sturridge reported for duty at St George's Park on Sunday evening with the remainder of the squad but was unable to take part in training on Monday morning and returned to his club Liverpool for further treatment. The 23-year-old was injured during the first half of Liverpool's 2-2 draw at Manchester City, shortly after scoring the Reds' opening goal, but was not substituted until the closing stages of the game. Sturridge's withdrawal leaves England boss Roy Hodgson with only two fit strikers at this stage - Manchester United duo Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck - after Tottenham's Jermain Defoe pulled out with an ankle problem, although Hodgson does also have the option of playing Theo Walcott up front. Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick also dropped out on Sunday with a hip injury.

It is not yet known how long the Blues goalkeeper will be sidelined, but it has been confirmed he will miss the Czech Republic's friendly against Turkey in Manisa on Wednesday after a scan revealed a fracture in his finger.
