Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen says it is 'weird' to see Jose Mourinho as Manchester United manager, but believes the coach will succeed at Old Trafford.
Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea in December after a poor start to the 2015/16 season, with the Blues losing nine of their opening 16 Premier League games as their title defence crumbled.
The Portuguese coach has replaced Louis van Gaal at United on a three-year deal, though recently admitted he would still be Chelsea boss had Roman Abramovich decided to keep him on.
But Christensen - currently halfway through a two-year loan at Borussia Monchengladbach - says Mourinho is the right man for the Red Devils despite his recent Chelsea history.
"I didn’t see that one coming when I left Chelsea, but he had to do what’s best for him so no hard feelings," Christensen told Goal.
“It is weird to see but that’s the way it is.
"I think he will be good, he is always a success really.
"He will give them a winning mentality which is the main thing, he will make them win and he wants to win."
Jose Mourinho says United's summer transfer spending 'will be done' after signing one more midfielder amid reports of a world-record £100million bid for Juventus' Paul Pogba.
Christensen, meanwhile, has dismissed reports linking him to Barcelona, saying: "Some of these things come out of nowhere and you don't know where it is coming from.
"I try not to concentrate on it but it is a part of football, I am not sure there was truth in that one."
Despite being the subject of a failed £14.5m bid from Gladbach, Christensen says he wants a long-term role at Chelsea.
"The main thing is to play," he added. That's the main thing that I want for my future.
"It is all about playing football and that's it. [Playing at Chelsea] is an ambition of mine, to play over there in the first team - but right now I am not thinking about the future."
