''Life in Manchester is 'a bit of a disaster'' - Jose Mourinho

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that living in Manchester has been a "bit of a disaster" as he opened up about his frustrations on staying in a hotel and facing the paparazzi.

Mourinho whose Manchester united's team has been facing a poor run of form recently has been faced with off-field predicament which has been compounded by his staying alone at the Lowry Hotel in Salford.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Mourinho said;

"You know the history of the paparazzi, for the hotel and the brand that sponsors me, the clothes brand, is amazing because they are there every day."

"Everybody knows the name of the hotel. Everybody knows the last arrivals of that brand. So for them, it is amazing.

"For me it's a bit of a disaster because I want sometimes to walk a little bit and I can't. I just want to cross the bridge and go for a restaurant. I can't, so it is really bad. But I have my apps and I can ask for food to also be delivered."

Mourinho who is currently searching for a suitable apartment said he is also missing his family as his wife, Tami, and children Matilde and Jose Jr. all live in London.

"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," Mourinho added.

"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. We try to feel it, we try to see the evolution of our feelings and see how we cope with the situation. But if I find a nice apartment with a good connection from the garage to the apartment, maybe I do it, but I can't cook."
