Man Utd's trip to Dubai gets off to worst possible start but Jose Mourinho sees funny side
MANCHESTER UNITED’s warm weather training trip to Dubai got off to the worst possible start - but Jose Mourinho saw the funny side.
United jetted out to the middle east yesterday to take a break from the cold in Manchester.
And they were hoping to get some sunshine to help them train and prepare for the rest of the season.
But Manchester United boss Mourinho posted a video on his Instagram account showing they were not quite getting what they’d hoped for.
His video, which has been viewed by more than half a million Instagram users, shows the rain pouring down in.
He captioned it with: “DUBAI....warm weather training camp” and included the crying with laughter emoji.
