Manchester United’s manager Jose Mourinho has yet to buy a house in Manchester even after five months into managing the club, sources report.
The Portuguese, who is also dubbed as ‘the special one’, has been living at the Lowry Hotel the whole time. Apparently, Mourinho is reluctant to relocate his family members as they are comfortably settled in at their house in London.
Mourinho’s wife Matilde is living in their luxurious 25 million euros home in London, together with their 19-year old daughter, Matilde, and 16-year-old son Jose Jr. It is also understood that the Manchester Club will not be pressuring him into buying a home.
When questioned, the 53-year old said, “The reality is that my daughter will be 20 next week, my son will be 17 in a couple of months. They are very stable. University in London. Football in London. Friends.”
This has raised questions about Mourinho’s commitment to the club, but Manchester United rubbished those rumours. The United insiders have made it known that Mourinho’s dedication in unparalleled, he is a ‘workaholic’ who arrives early every day and leaves very late.
On the other hand, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has already moved into a city centre apartment with his wife Cristina and their three children.
