Jose Mourinho has scheduled a 4.30pm training session for Christmas day at Old Trafford. Until this season there has been a tradition in the club to have a 1 hour light training session in the morning. Former manager Louis van Gaal gave the entire session a day off to celebrate Christmas.
Manchester United defeated Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 to maintain their position in sixth place. United have been very inconsistent this season having drawn four matches in the Premier League.
United’s training ground Carrington will be closed on the eve of Christmas and that means he will undergo a training session at the Old Trafford. According to sources, “Everyone is seriously p***** off. They’ve never heard anything like it – not even under Fergie.
“All the staff are used to coming in and sorting training out at Carrington but having it at Old Trafford adds a whole new level of organisation and brings more staff in.”
United are scheduled to face Sunderland on Boxing Day.
