Jose Mourinho: Manchester United manager still living in hotel four months after joining Old Trafford club… just like Alan Partridge
JOSE MOURINHO is living out of a suitcase in a Manchester hotel despite taking the reins as Old Trafford boss four months ago.
The ex-Chelsea chief is rumoured to be searching for his perfect pad in Prestbury near Cheshire.
It's thought that he has already put the breaks on his plans to lay down his roots in the North West on the back of Manchester United's three game losing streak.
But the Portuguese coach isn't short of company in Manchester's luxury Lowry Hotel.
The majority of his backroom staff are also thought to be without a permanent home in the city.
Mourinho's wife and children - who also have the same name - could be reluctant to join him in Cheshire.
His stunning daughter Matilde, 19, is studying fashion at a London university whilst his teenage son, Jose Jr penned a two-year deal with Championship outfit Fulham earlier this summer.
Mourinho isn't the only Premier League boss to find himself likened to TV personality Partridge who famously lived in a budget hotel.
