JOSE MOURINHO lands in Portugal for a break with his family and daughter Matilde’s boyfriend – who gets the Special One’s seal of approval.
The Manchester United manager escaped to his homeland ahead of next season’s Premier League fixtures being announced tomorrow.
The Special One arrived with wife Matilde and goalkeeper son Jose Jr, who recently announced he had started a scholarship at Fulham.
Lagging behind them is daughter Matilde and her boyfriend Danny Graham – no, not that one – who, while keeping his distance, obviously gets on well enough with the new Old Trafford boss to be invited on holiday.
If Mourinho’s Instagram account is anything to go by then he intends to keep in shape while abroad.
