A member of staff told the former Chelsea manager he had great taste in music and The Special One replied: "I have loved the music these girls have made for many, many years."

A United insider told the Star: "The music was really loud coming out of Jose's car and he had a huge smile on his face.

"The guy who spoke to him first said he just loved their music and hopes one day to see them in concert.

"He said Robert De Niro's Waiting is up there with his favourite songs ever."

Mourinho has signed a £30million, three-year deal at Old Trafford after being sacked by Chelsea last season.

Bananarama were last seen on television in 2011 making a cameo appearance in ITV's Benidorm. Their smash hits included Love In The First Degree, Really Saying Something and Venus.

They were formed in 1979 by friends Sara Dallin, 45, Keren Woodward, 55, and Siobhan Fahey, 57, now divorced from Eurthymics star Dave Stewart.

Jose may like to note that Sara and Keren still tour as a two-piece and performed a series of concerts in Australia earlier this year.
