My life in Manchester is a disaster - Mourinho

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says living alone in a hotel in the City of Manchester is a 'bit of a disaster'.

Mourinho has been living in the city's Lowry Hotel since being appointed United manager in the summer and the former Chelsea boss whose family is in London claims he is loath to venture out because of the persistent hordes of photographers camped outside his hotel.

"I just want to cross the bridge and go to a restaurant. I can't, so it's really bad.
"For me it's a bit of a disaster because I want sometimes to walk a little bit and I can't.

"The reality is that my daughter will be 20 next week, my son will be 17 in a couple of months. They are very stable.

"University in London. Football in London. Friends. So they are in an age where they can't chase me like they did before. So for the first time the family lives in a different way." Mourinho told Sky Sports.

Mourinho who reportedly earns more than £10m a year is believed to be searching for an apartment but hinted that he is missing his family.
