Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho's behaviour away from the media spotlight is a stark contrast to what he displays on camera, it has been revealed.

The Manchester Evening News says Mourinho has cut a decidedly different figure in private.

Take what happened after the 2-1 win against Watford, for example. In the bowels of Vicarage Road, Mourinho was on the lookout for the stadium's Wi-Fi password before he made his way into the press conference room.

A Watford staff member happily obliged, offering to key in the password into his phone before he started his audience with the media. 'Shaking' as she did it, the official plucked up the courage to tell him she was a closet United fan.

Bowled over, Mourinho immediately pulled her in for a hug and a chat about her time supporting the club. "I can die happy," she later said.
