'I would have been very unhappy' - Mourinho explains why he lived in Lowry Hotel while at Man Utd

Jose Mourinho has explained why he lived at the Lowry Hotel during his time as Manchester United manager ahead of his return to Old Trafford on Wednesday evening.

Having taken over from Mauricio Pochettino as Tottenham coach last month, Mourinho now faces a reunion with the club which sacked him late last year. Ahead of the game he was asked about his unusual living situation in Manchester, with inherited wisdom suggesting that it had contributed to his unhappiness while working at the Theatre of Dreams.

Mourinho strongly disagreed, however, and was quick to debunk that theory.
