Why Manchester United Coach, Jose Mourinho Gave His UEFA Medal To A Nigerian Kid
Jose Mourinho has explained why he decided to give his medal to a young fan after Manchester United’s UEFA Super Cup defeat to Real Madrid.
Manchester United's boss handed the medal to a delighted supporter – a boy named Deji – in the front row before departing.
Asked about the gesture in his post-match press conference, Mourinho gave an answer that prompted laughs among the journalists present.
“Sometimes when I win, I don’t keep the medals – so imagine when I lose!” the manager said wryly.
“For me, the medal would go to some place in my house; for that kid, it’s the moon – something to keep and remember. It was a little kid with a United shirt. I have no idea where he comes from. I think it’s something he’ll never forget.”
The club wrote on Twitter; A top gesture from Jose Mourinho to give his super cup runners medal to a young fan. Anyone know the lucky recipient? Please get in touch.
The boy's brother then tweeted a photo of him smiling with the medal.
