J.Mourinho: I had received a generous offer from China.

"Man Utd" coach Jose Mourinho revealed to the press that he could have continued his career at an unnamed Chinese team, which offered to shower the Portuguese with gold coins.

"I could have also moved to the CSL league, but I turned down this offer. I don't criticize people who decide to act differently - it's their choice and life.

Some "Premier" league coaches think differently, but I am not ready to shoot arrows of criticism.

Of course, the sizes of contracts being offered are worrisome - no one in Europe can offer such amounts.

Imagine a player going to China at the age of 24-25. Everything is fine, be happy... Of course, including a footballer who is already 31-32 years old and goes there just to add to his bank account," Mourinho said.

"When they are young and have a chance to participate in the best tournaments, but choose money instead, maybe it's better for football that they leave."
