Mourinho feels right at home

JOSE Mourinho appeared to be enjoying settling into his "new house" yesterday as he made his first Old Trafford appearance since being appointed as Manchester United manager.

Just over a week on from being officially confirmed as United boss, Mourinho watched from the stands as an 'England' side of celebrities and former and current players beat a Rest of the World outfit 3-2 in the 2016 Soccer Aid match.

The 53-year-old Portuguese had received a warm reception from the crowd gathered outside when he entered the stadium ahead of the charity game, responding with a smile and a wave.

Two pictures then appeared on Mourinho's official Instagram account - one of which was accompanied by the message: "An honour to host Pele at my new house."

As well as that picture of the 'Special One' grinning and shaking hands with the Brazil great with a large United crest behind them, there was an image of Mourinho in the Old Trafford tunnel.

Mourinho also referred to the ground as his "house" in a short statement in the programme for the event as he expressed his delight at starting work with the Red Devils.

He said: "I'm sorry I couldn't be more involved tonight and I was sorry not to enjoy training with the England boys this week.

"But I am so happy and involved at beginning my job at Manchester United that all the time I have right now is working time!

"Now, though, I want to enjoy the game with...the crowd on this fantastic day at my house, Old Trafford."
