The Red Devils boss acknowledges that he is a recognisable figure around the world and feels any criticism he gets is often driven by 'fear'
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho considers himself to be an icon because he feels “at ease” with himself and does not “care what other people think”.
Confidence has never been an issue for the charismatic Portuguese coach, with his exploits at Porto helping to put him on the world map.
He famously announced his arrival at Chelsea by declaring himself to be a ‘Special One’, with further success at Stamford Bridge, Inter Milan and Real Madrid helping to enhance his profile.
