Jose starts work as MU manager

Jose Mourinho officially started work as Manchester United manager at the club's Carrington training base on Monday.

The Portuguese travelled to Manchester by train on Sunday night and posted a video on Instagram showing his arrival at Piccadilly station, saying: "I am here/UNITED we can".

He arrived at Carrington with goalkeeping coach Silvino Louro on Monday morning. The 53-year-old was appointed as United boss in May after the sacking of Dutchman Louis van Gaal.

Mourinho has already begun shaping his new squad to grace Old Trafford next season, with former Paris-Saint Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ivorian defender Eric Bailly high-profile new signings.

The former Chelsea coach is also close to concluding a deal for Borussia Dortmund's Armenian playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

The German club announced that Mkhitaryan was close to finalising a deal with United after they had accepted an "enormously valuable offer".
