Jose Mourinho - Manchester United’s Facebook
CAIRO –10August 2017: Manchester United’s manager Jose Mourinho performed an honorable gesture following Manchester United’s August 8 match against Real Madrid.
After United’s 2-1 defeat over Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup final, Mourinho decided to give the runner’s up silver medal to a young United fan.
Mourinho spoke about the incident in a press conference. He revealed the reason behind why he gave the medal to the young united supporter.
Mourinho said, “Sometimes when I win, I don’t keep the medals – so imagine when I lose! For me, the medal would go to some place in my house; for that kid, it’s the moon – something to keep and remember,” reporting from the Express.
Mourinho concluded, “It was a little kid with a United shirt. I have no idea where he comes from. I think it’s something he’ll never forget. I repeat: when I win, they don’t mean much, so imagine when I lose,” according to the Express.
It is good to mention that this isn’t the first time that Mourinho decided to give away his medal. Mourinho decided to throw the silver medal to the fans in the stadium following his 1-0 defeat from Arsenal during the Community Shield final in 2015. He was the manager of Chelsea in 2015.
