Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton appears to have given new manager Jose Mourinho his seal of approval after the pair were pictured together on Monday.
Charlton, alongside executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, welcomed the former Real Madrid and Chelsea boss to United’s training base in Carrington.
Mourinho, who replaced Louis van Gaal as manager at Old Trafford earlier this month, was joined by long-time assistant Rui Faria on a tour of the club’s training facilities.
Charlton has previously questioned Mourinho’s style of management, most notably after the Portuguese pokedBarcelona assistant coach Tito Vilanova in the eye during an El Clasico match in 2011.
“A United manager wouldn’t do that,” Charlton was quoted as saying at the time. “Mourinho is a really good coach, but that’s as far as I would go really.
He pontificates too much for my liking. He’s a good manager, though.”
However, Charlton appeared happy to welcome Mourinho to Carrington on Monday, telling the 53-year-old he was “very happy” to see him at the club.
