Jose Mourinho shows his class by signing autographs in the freezing cold before Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Zorya
United boss took the time to sign autographs for dozens of Ukrainian fans who swarmed around him
JOSE MOURINHO went on a massive charm offensive ahead of Man United's match against Zorya Luhansk in Ukraine.
The United boss often gets a bad rap from fans, particularly for his moaning about referees, but he showed a touch of class as he entered the pitch in Odessa.
In a sign that he may be one of the most misunderstood bosses in the game, Mourinho signed autographs for dozens of local fans in freezing temperatures before making his way to the bench.
In another video, he was shown talking to a young fan and tying his shoelaces.
The footage was captured live on BT Sport.
Mourinho's team gave him some pre-Christmas cheer with a dominant performance in sub zero temperatures.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan's first goal for the club gave United the lead before Zlatan Ibrahimovic rounded things off late on.
However Eric Bailly could face disciplinary action for a needless kick just 30 seconds from the end of the match.
Attention will now turn to the more pressing matter of Sunday's clash with Tottenham.
Both teams have so far fallen way short of pre-season expectations of a Champions League place and need a win to get back into the running for a top four spot.
