Mourinho's 'miracle room' central to keeping control of Manchester United

It looks more like something out of a futuristic spy drama, but it's actually just a normal room at Manchester United's training ground, fitted out to the max.

The Red Devils, coached by Jose Mourinho, have several offices and partners all over the world and keeping in touch with them can be a fiddly process.

However the Daily Mail reveal that it's one the Portuguese boss can do with ease thanks to a Silicon Valley designed bank of screens that deliver conference calls so realistically that it feels like everyone's in the same room.

"Technology makes miracles," Mourinho told the United We Stand fanzine earlier this month when questioned how he works with Ed Woodward, the club executive vice chairman, who is based in London.

"If needed, we have a room here at Carrington which is a miracle, with screens in it. So we speak a lot."
