Mourinho remains United's most successful manager of the post-Ferguson era, having led them to three cup finals, winning the League Cup and Europa League in 2017, as well as their joint-highest Premier League finish of second and best points haul of 81 in 2017-18.
And he insists he'd love nothing more than to see Ten Hag succeed at Old Trafford.
"I wish the best to Manchester United since the moment I left," he said. "I left with a good feeling to the club and with a good feeling to the fans. If things are not going amazingly well for them it's not something that makes me happy.
"It doesn't make sense for me to be thinking about what happened and what didn't happen.
What happened for sure, because it's very objective, is they keep faith in the coach.
They support the coach and the coach is staying season after season. That means stability and it means trust.
