Jose Mourinho is all set to manage his first game at Manchester United and his debut challenge will be Wigan in Saturday’s pre-season opener.
Ahead of Jose’s first game in charge as a Man United boss, we had the opportunity to have a glimpse of Mourinho’s first training session at Old Trafford. To let the fans and followers know about the ongoing things inside the training session, Mourinho has posted something on his Instagram.
Mourinho wrote: ‘After 10 training sessions I can say: ‘I love to work with these guys,’
Now the biggest news for the fans today is that Luke Shaw is back!!!
The England international is finally set to return after being sidelined for a long time due to a horrific double leg fracture last season.
Jose Mourinho’s new £30million signing Eric Bailly is expected to start this Saturday alongside Luke Shaw and in his Manchester United debut against Wigan.
With Chis Smalling and Phil Jones both ruled out for the game, it won’t be surprising if Mourinho plots promising 18-year-old centre-half Axel Tuanzebe to make his senior team debut alongside 17-year-old academy starlet Tyrell Warren.
Jose said last week:
‘I don’t know them well but I just trust Nicky Butt, [head of football development] John Murtough and the structure’s judgement,’
‘When they say we have a few players who, in a couple of years, can be first-team players.’
The Special one will not have any other options but picking up academy youths for the pre-season matches as almost all his key players featured in the Euro 2016 in France and they need at least a break of three weeks.
£30 million signing from Borussia Dortmund, Henrik Mkhitaryan, has been taking part in the Man United training session and is expected to make an appearance against Wigan, and so is Michael Carrick, Ander Herrera, and Juan Mata.
