» Mourinho to hold first Manchester United press conference
The Special One has arrived for his first day as boss of the Red Devils,
after replacing Louis van Gaal, and will be unveiled and face questions
from the media on Tuesday
Jose Mourinho is set to hold his first press conference as manager of
Manchester United on Tuesday after officially starting work at Old
Trafford.
The former Chelsea boss, who was appointed in May to replace Louis
van Gaal, reported for his first day at the club's training complex on
Monday.
To mark his arrival, Mourinho posted a photo of him alighting a train
at Manchester Piccadilly station on Instagram accompanied by the words
"I am here/UNITED we can."
Mourinho will be unveiled and face questions from the media at a news conference on Tuesday.
The 'Special One' has already sanctioned the signings of defender
Eric Bailly and striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with a move for Borussia
Dortmund star Henrikh Mkhitaryan close to completion and talks ongoing
for Pachuca winger Hirving Lozano.
However, Mourinho's tenure begins without United icon Ryan Giggs
after the Welshman departed having rejected a reduced role to the
assistant manager position he held under Van Gaal.
The new manager's first match in charge of United comes against
Borussia Dortmund in China on July 22, before a meeting with rival Pep
Guardiola three days later.
The Red Devils then face Galatasaray in Sweden prior to a meeting against Everton in Wayne Rooney's testimonial.
United's season begins with the Community Shield against Leicester City
on August 7, while they start their Premier League campaign at AFC
Bournemouth on August 13.
