Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was among the spectators as Belgium took on Iceland in the UEFA Nations League and had a cheeky reply when asked why he attended the game.
Mitchy Batshuayi bagged a brace in the second half as Belgium continued their 100% start to the Nations League. Mourinho was spotted in the stands as Belgium ran out 2-0 winners at the Heysel Stadium but left the ground on 65 minutes.
Despite no Manchester United player featuring after Marouane Fellaini and Romelu Lukaku were out injured Mourinho still attended the game. It is not known who Mourinho was watching but he wasn’t on a preparation mission for United’s next games as no Crystal Palace or Southampton players were involved.
A reporter waiting outside the stadium asked the Manchester United manager what had brought him to ‘misty Belgium’ and the Portuguese joked that it was “the weather” before laughing and getting in his waiting car.
was he scouting?
