The Old Trafford stars should be used to wet weather after moving to notoriously rainy Manchester.

But Mourinho will be praying for normal service to resume as he looks to whip United into shape for the second part of the season.

A poor run of form over Christmas has seen rivals Manchester City storm into an almost insurmountable lead.

But the Old Trafford chief still has the Champions League and FA Cup to play for as he looks to secure more silverware.

And a fourth-place finish is far from guaranteed - essential if the Special One wants funds to spend in the summer to catch old foe Pep Guardiola.

Incredibly, Mourinho does not think the £300million he has splashed out so far at United has been enough for him to build a squad to challenge the Citizens.
