Zuca joined Jose for the Red Devils’ win over Swansea yesterday

Jose Mourinho’s son, Jose Junior, was by his father’s side on the United bench during Saturday’s match against Swansea.

In full coaching kit Junior, who is known to family as Zuca, joined the United staff and also Michael Carrick. Mourinho named the midfielder as part of his coaching team as he makes the transition from player to manager, retiring at the end of this season.

You can see Zuca walking behind Carrick in his post-match tweet.

Carrick’s role at United next season has not been specified but a coaching role is obviously plausible.

Mourinho’s boy had previously signed a two-year contract with Fulham in 2016, as a goalkeeper, but it was cancelled by mutual consent in March last year.

Is Old Trafford big enough for two special ones?
