Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has total respect for Wigan Athletic manager Warren Joyce.

United meet Wigan on Sunday in the FA Cup.

Mourinho said: “I worked with him for just a few months but that was enough to know he's a very nice man, a very passionate football man.

“He took the risk, he accepted the challenge. He left a good situation in our club to try what we call 'men's football' and, for sure, he will come with a team that's very aggressive and well organised defensively.

“The manager is also emotional. He knows us, he will come with special motivation to play against his old club.

“They will bring lots of fans, too, so the match is going to be difficult."
