Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho takes PlayStation 4 into Lowry Hotel – is he playing with Alexis Sanchez on FIFA 18?
Special One is known to enjoy the odd mind game with other managers but it seems he is also partial to video games
JOSE MOURINHO might enjoy playing mind games with other managers… but it seems he also enjoys the odd video game too.
The Manchester United boss was snapped lugging a PlayStation 4 games console into the Lowry Hotel on Friday afternoon ahead of Saturday’s trip to Burnley.
Mourinho looked eager to get inside and try out the popular piece of kit.
And maybe he was planning a game of FIFA 18 to see just how United will function with Alexis Sanchez in the side.
The Chilean is believed to be close to joining the Red Devils in a swap deal for Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who was NOT seen entering the Lowry with his team-mates.
And after weeks of tense negotiations, it appears Mourinho wants to unwind with some virtual entertainment.
Sanchez is likely to slot in on the left wing for United, and would certainly be an upgrade on the likes of Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford.
The ace has an incredible rating of 89, making him one of the game’s top players.

Sanchez’s versatility is also sure to come in handy for Mourinho, who may prefer to play him as a striker.
And if the Portuguese is enjoying a game of FIFA to celebrate his latest coup, there’s no doubt he will be playing against arch rival Pep Guardiola and Manchester City, who thought a deal to sign Sanchez was in the bag.
Man Utd transfer news
Meanwhile, United’s players looked to be on the ball as they made their way into the hotel lobby.
Juan Mata led the way after a resurgence in form, while Marouane Fellaini appeared to be fit and ready after his injury setback.
Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Romelu Lukaku were also snapped heading inside.
While Luke Shaw appeared pleased after being praised by Mourinho as one of the best left-backs around.
