“Mourinho can be the new Ferguson”, he is quoted as saying by the Daily Mirror. “He sacrificed his holiday”, Mourinho explained. “He will not stay 26 years, but he will leave his imprint”.
“He can’t speak English, he just communicates with the ones that are French-spoken or Spanish so for him step by step that’s the reason why I will give him more than 45 minutes”. I’m really looking forward to it.
“I’m sure everyone is excited in China that we are coming. I am trying, because the first days are always very hard”, Mkhitaryan was quoted as saying by The Independent on Sunday.
Mourninho, 53, was caught on mobile phone walking up Blackfriars Street, heading into Manchester city centre, when he took the time to entertain two supporters who approached him. The main thing is to get through pre-season and to be ready.

Bailly, who was Mourinho’s first Old Trafford signing, joining from Villarreal last month, was one of the standout performers against Wigan and the Portuguese believes the Ivorian can become just as good as French global Varane, who played under Mourinho at Real Madrid. They are the ones on the pitch and they are the ones that need support and if I could tell them that I would tell them directly: first the players. I am the last one after them. I was trying to feel comfortable.
