He waited patiently in the tunnel to greet his former Manchester United players before kick-off. Lucky Sergio Romero even got a kiss.
He shook every player’s hand from both sides at full time.
He even admitted that United were the better team in his immediate post-match interview, insisting that they deserved their 2-1 victory.

But you can’t hide an instinct for mischievousness forever, and Mourinho’s mask slipped when speaking to the press a little later after the final whistle.
