Man Utd boss Mourinho impressed by players' attitude for early morning call

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho was delighted with the commitment of his players today.

Despite the 11-hour flight from Beijing and the disappointment of the cancellation of the Manchester City game, Jose Mourinho's squad trained between 6:30 and 8:30 BST rather than heading straight home.

The session will help partially compensate for losing the 90 minutes against City and Mourinho told ManUtd.com: "They are a great group of boys and the intensity of the session shows they are very professional in their outlook."

The next leg of Tour 2016 presented by Aon is the trip to Gothenburg to face Galatasaray on Saturday.
