Jose Mourinho enjoys stroll around Manchester with United assistant and pays tribute to his wife on her birthday

Jose Mourinho shows his professional relationships at Manchester United run far deeper than as he spent his day off strolling around the city centre with assistant coach Ricardo Formosinho.

Following an impressive 4-0 demolition of West Ham in the opening Premier League weekend, Mourinho and the rest of his United squad were given Monday off to recuperate and reflect.

And the Portuguese opted against returning to his family home in London, instead spending the day discussing business with Formosinho, who worked with him at Porto and Real Madrid before joining him at Old Trafford last summer.
