Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince believes that Jose Mourinho is the right man for the job at Old Trafford, but warns that there is no guarantee of success.

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince has said that he believes Jose Mourinho is the right choice to take over at Old Trafford.

Mourinho had been linked with the post for months before he finally signed a deal to become United's next manager, replacing Louis van Gaal after the Dutchman failed to deliver a top-four finish.

Mourinho himself had been sacked by Chelsea following a poor start to the 2015-16 campaign, and while Ince believes that United and Mourinho should be a good match, he warned that there is no guarantee of success.

"I like to think they've got the right man, but you never know. You hear chairmen saying we've got the right man here and six months down the line they lose their job. You see it all the time. I'm sure when Van Gaal went to Man United everybody said 'yeah, we've got the right man'. He was successful at Ajax and Barcelona but two seasons down the line he's got the sack," he told PA.

"I felt last year at Chelsea he didn't seem the same Mourinho. Something was bugging him last year. I don't know what it was, but he wasn't happy at Chelsea and you could see that in the way he was acting and talking, he didn't seem comfortable for some reason. It was a good time for him to get out and recharge his batteries. He's a world-class manager, now at the biggest club in the world.

"Mourinho's CV speaks for itself. He's won all over the place, Champions Leagues, titles and he's a winner. He knows how to win. So from a credential point of view you've got to say he's the right man, but we'll have to see what happens in the next couple of months. How is Mourinho going to play? He likes his experienced players. What does that say about the young players? His style of football really at the back end of last year wasn't great and this is the biggest thing with Manchester United fans, they want the Man United style of football."

Mourinho's first match as United manager will come against Borussia Dortmund in the International Champions Cup on July 22.
