Jose Mourinho turned 55 years of age on Friday.
Instead of celebrating, he was in Somerset as his Manchester United visited Yeovil Town in the FA Cup fourth round.
Thankfully, the BBC team providing live coverage of the game hadn’t forgotten the United manager’s special day. After speaking to him before kick-off, Dan Walker presented Mourinho with a special gift: a bottle of ‘Birthday Brew’ cider.
“I don’t know if you like cider,” Walker said.
Much to the surprise of many watching, Mourinho politely informed him he would not be trying the cider…
“I’ve no idea because I never tried,” Mourinho replied. “I’m not going to try it. I will keep it but I’m not going to try it.”
You can't often accuse Jose Mourinho of bottling it, but tonight? 😄#MUFC pic.twitter.com/oWIJh0VWDd
