Jose Mourinho wore his quilted coat as protection against the indifference which will have hurt more than any abuse, but not as much as this humiliating defeat.
Once he was special in this part of the world, but Chelsea fans largely ignored the returning hero as he suffered on the touchline and rejoiced as Manchester United were thrashed out of sight.
There were no songs from the stands until United were 4-0 down, safely destroyed, by which point no-one could be sure the home crowd were being ironic when they burst into a chorus of his name.
