ARSENE WENGER may disagree but it appears Jose Mourinho really is a top bloke.

Jose Mourinho popped in to see the Manchester United youngsters ahead of their Portugal tour

A recent book about Mourinho claimed the Special One wanted to break Wenger’s face.

But away from the hustle and bustle of the Premier League it appears Mourinho is as nice as they come.

Some of Manchester United’s Under-14 and Under-15 players are off to play in a celebratory match tomorrow against academy side Benfica.

And given Mourinho’s Portuguese connection, the boss was keen to offer them some encouragement before they departed.

So he made a special effort to visit the teenager’s classroom at training this week to teach them about life in the country.

He answered questions from youngsters and gave them some advice before heading back to first-team duties.

United’s tour leader Les Parry said: "He was brilliant, he came in and spoke to the boys like adults, answering some really well thought-out questions.

Jose Mourinho proved what a class act he is off the pitch

“The boys didn’t know he was going to come in so to see their faces when he walked through the door was wonderful.

“The most pleasing thing was the length of time he spoke to the players for, he didn’t come in just to show his face, he gave the boys quality time and quality information.

“I think the staff were just as in awe of him as the players were.”
