Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has revealed former boss Sir Alex Ferguson has been back to the club’s Carrington training ground several times this season.

United are sixth in the Premier League table ahead of Sunday’s game and chasing a fourth successive league win, with Sunderland in the relegation zone.
But even Ibrahimovic was upstaged by Mkhitaryan, whose stunning back-heel past Pickford on 86 minutes was a stroke of genius that will keep a place on the highlights reel for years to come.
“United are playing well at the moment”.
What if he’d been given more than two transfer windows to reshape an aging squad left behind by Ferguson? In 2014-15, the three rounds of games were conducted over just four days. Moyes said he targeted Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Cesc Fabregas, and had finalized a deal for Toni Kroos but was sacked before it could go through.
“I’ve got to say I enjoyed coming back, I’ve always enjoyed coming here”, he said.
And Mourinho has hinted that some clubs have been given an easier schedule than others.
On the reception from United fans, he added: “I thought it was fine”.
“It was gong to be a little bit of a rebuilding job and it was never going to be done immediately.”
We actually offered a bigger deal than Real Madrid.
Monday’s game between United and Sunderland at Old Trafford will be Moyes’ first since his sacking.
“I knew someday I would either come up against the Manchester United players or work with some of them”.
Sunderland will know that it will be a tough task to take anything from their visit to Old Trafford.
As Sunderland understandably committed more men forward into attack more space opened up for United, with Ibrahimovic being the main beneficiary.
Midfield: Mourinho looks to have finally found a settled midfield with Michael Carrick impressing in the holding role and Ander Herrera putting in some outstanding displays alongside the experienced Englishman.
“I don’t care, honestly [about our position.] I care about the way we play and I care about our results and to get the maximum points possible and what happens, happens”. “I tried to answer”, Mourinho said Friday.
He now has 13 goals in the Premier League. Because the Premier League was going already in an incredible direction.
Pogba hit the post just before the half hour mark as United toiled but could not make the breakthrough, he then wasted a brilliant chance on the volley with half the goal at his mercy. They are unbeaten in their last ten games and are climbing up the league.
Arsenal v West Bromwich Albion Both sides lost their last games although Arsene Wenger will be the more anxious manager after suffering two defeats from winning positions in what he called a “horrible week”.
