Drama always follows this guy. Jose Mourinho broke into laughter when asked about why he was in Belgium on Thursday.
Mourinho was spotted in the stands as Belgium beat Iceland 2-0 in the UEFA Nations League, with Michy Batshuayi scoring twice.
Neither Marouane Fellaini nor Romelu Lukaku were fit to feature for Roberto Martinez’s side, leading to speculation as to why Mourinho was there.
Rather inevitably, it was suggested that the Manchester United manager was in attendance on some sort of scouting mission.
The Portuguese spent part of the last international break watching reported transfer target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic play for Serbia.
With Toby Alderweireld lining up for Belgium on Thursday, it is likely that Mourinho was once again casting his eye over a player of potential interest.
The Tottenham centre-half played the full 90 minutes as Belgium kept a clean sheet.
But when asked about his visit, Mourinho laughed off the question.
You got to love his laugh:
Jose Mourinho watched 65 minutes of Belgium – Iceland yesterday.
? @VTMNIEUWS : “What brings you to misty Belgium?”
? Jose Mourinho: “The weather.” ? (laughs out loud)#mufc

Michy Batshuayi fired Belgium to the brink of the finals with his brace in a 2-0 home victory over Iceland.
The Chelsea striker, on loan at Valencia this season, tucked Thomas Meunier’s pass away after the hour mark before making the three points safe in the last 10 minutes.
However, Switzerland can still take top spot by beating the Red Devils in Lucerne on Sunday.
Austria’s goalless draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina in Vienna had the effect of promoting the Balkan nation and relegating Northern Ireland from Group Three of League B.
Elsewhere, Vitalie Damascan rubbed salt into San Marino’s wounds following a miserable campaign by firing Moldova to a 1-0 win in Serravalle.
