da dobrowin: Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has explained his reasons for still living in a hotel despite being based in Manchester since the middle of 2016.
da dobrowin: Mourinho replaced Louis van Gaal as head coach of the Red Devils at the end of the 2015-16 season.
The Portuguese led the club to three trophies during his first year in charge, and there has again been progress this term despite Manchester City’s incredible lead at the top of the Premier League.
Mourinho strangely has not found a house in Manchester, however, with the 54-year-old still living in The Lowry Hotel, which has been his residence since taking control of Man United.
A number of the club’s fans have previously expressed their concerns with Mourinho’s living situation, but the manager has insisted that he prefers living in a hotel due to his laziness.
Mourinho told reporters:
“If the fans want me to be comfortable, then that’s the way I feel very comfortable, because I am very lazy and because I like to arrive in the hotel.
“I don’t want anyone to be worried about me living in a two-square metre room. I am living in an apartment inside of a hotel where I have all the comfort and support, where I have everything that I want, like I’m living in a house.”
Man United booked their spot in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 2-0 win over Derby County at Old Trafford on Friday night.
The team are currently in Dubai preparing for next Monday’s Premier League clash with Stoke City.
