Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has been struggling to get accustomed in Manchester. The Portuguese who was appointed the manager in this season admitted that life in the city has been tough since his arrival.
Mourinho has been staying at the Lowry hotel but his family is staying in London. The ex-Chelsea manager had to leave his family in London as it is impossible to travel to Manchester every day. His wife along with his daughter and son lives in the London home.
The 53-year-old sounded very unhappy with his living arrangements. “Buy a house? I do not know … I do not know.
“But the reality is that my daughter (Matilde) will be 20 next week. My son (Jose Jr) will be 17 in a couple of months. They are very stable… university in London, football in London, friends.
“So, they are at an age where they can’t chase me like they did before. So, for the first time, the family lives in a different way. We try to feel it, we try to see the evolution of our feelings and see how we cope with the situation.”
Mourinho has a tough task cut out as his side will face Manchester City in the next match. Staying away from his family is only making a tough situation harder.
He went on to add, “You know the history of the paparazzi, for the hotel and the brand that sponsors me, the clothes brand, it’s amazing because they are there every day.
“For me, it’s a bit of a disaster because I want sometimes to walk a little bit and I can’t. I just want to cross the bridge and go to a restaurant. I can’t, so it is really bad.
“But I have my apps and I can ask for food to also be delivered, which I do sometimes,” He signed off.
