Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho has shown off his rarely-seen skills on the pitch by starring in a charity football match for people affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.

Speaking after the game, Mourinho joked that he had chosen to play as a goalkeeper so he didn’t “have to run so much”.

Asked whether he enjoyed playing the role of the day’s “pantomime villain”, he said he wanted to bring “something fun and different” to the charity match.
