Mourinho's effusive embrace with Real Madrid players
Posted Monday, July 24, 2017 by Marca.com
One of the points of interest from this Real Madrid - Manchester United match was undoubtedly the reunion of Jose Mourinho with those men who were his players, and it seems that the past stays in the past in view of the way in which the United coach greeted virtually everyone.
One by one he hugged them and particularly effusive was his reunion with Marcelo.
Karim Benzema, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Gareth Bale also welcomed the Portuguese.
Mourinho had good relations with the Real Madrid board, especially with Jose Angel Sanchez, even though they couldn't reach an agreement for Alvaro Morata, and Sunday night's game is only the second time that the Special One has faced Los Blancos since his departure.
He did so for the first time four years ago, also during pre-season in the United States, when Carlo Ancelotti was on the Real bench and Mou was Chelsea coach.
