Jose Mourinho set for breakfast grill at early Manchester United briefing

| 04 October 2018

Will the Special One serve up Special K for reporters?

Under-fire Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho will face reporters at the unusually early time of 8am on Friday morning.

Bleary-eyed journalists will have plenty to grill the Portuguese about, with the manager’s comments under an 8.30am embargo.

United have made their worst start to a league season since 1989-90 and put in an uninspiring performance in a goalless draw against Valencia in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Jose Mourinho’s pre-match press conference will be at 8am on Friday… 😴😩

The Red Devils’ press conferences usually take place at around 1pm, although he did catch journalists out by turning up half an hour early for one at the end of August, hanging around for just eight minutes before walking out again.
