Jose Mourinho has a secret new nickname
JOSE MOURINHO has earned himself a new nickname at Manchester United.
The former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss is often called The Special One following his famous first press conference at Stamford Bridge.
Mourinho declared that he had a special ability to take Chelsea right to the top and was proven right.
He also claimed he was the Happy One after rejoining the Blues in 2013.
But he has a secret new nickname behind the scenes at Old Trafford.
According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, United staff call Mourinho 'Daisy' behind his back.
It is in reference to the film Driving Miss Daisy in which Morgan Freeman's character Hoke Colburn chauffeurs Jessica Tandy's Daisy Werthan.
And United's backroom staff have noticed the similarity with Mourinho also being ferried around by a chauffeur.
He reportedly doesn't use a private car to get from his Lowry hotel base to United's Carrington training base or Old Trafford.

It's unlikely to go down well with Mourinho who likes to portray himself as a warrior on the touchline and in press conferences.
The Portuguese schemer has been working hard during pre-season and has already secured his first signature.
United announced the £30.8m signing of Victor Lindelof from Benfica last night with Alvaro Morata prioritised as the next arrival.
