Jose Mourinho will walk out of the the tunnel at Old Trafford as the manager of Manchester United this evening as we take on Southampton.
Mourinho has claimed despite managing other teams at this stadium, playing against United, he’s always wanted a good relationship with our fans.
Even as an opponent I could create a good relationship with the fans, I never had problems, and I have not always behaved the best way. The first time I was running to celebrate a goal at touchline.
I always tried to be nice and have a relationship with the fans at Old Trafford. This time I go and for the first time I can do what I never did, which is ask for their support. I always play against them, and this time they are on my side.
As a fan you can go to the stadium and watch the game, or you can go and play, and what I ask them to do is go to Old Trafford and play. If they play, it’s 80,000 + 11, versus 11, and the opposition has no chance. I give them that responsibility, if they are behind my players we have a big chance.
