Man Utd boss Mourinho: A difficult Christmas personally

Published on: 25 December 2017

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is looking forward to Tuesday's clash with Burnley.

Mourinho is still excited by the tradition of Boxing Day football.

"The positive of it is for me the Boxing Day match," he said. "I do it with pleasure, I do it thinking that families are coming, people love it, even around the world.

"Families at home they love football, so I feel we are giving something that people love. The positive side of it is that good feeling."

Mourinho admitted this Christmas had been a tough time for him personally as it was the first one since the death of his father, former Portugal goalkeeper Jose Manuel Mourinho Felix, in June.

"It's the first Christmas without my father and I think that's the most difficult one," he said.
