Man United’s first piece of silverware could be won on August 8. The Red Devils will compete in the UEFA Super Cup, having won the Europa League, but face a daunting task: beating Real Madrid.
The Champions League winners are one of the scariest teams to face in Europe, but Marca claim the Special One has a special plan for Los Blancos. The Spanish publication named it the “anti Real Madrid plan”.
These two sides will first lock horns in the 2017 International Champions Cup at the Levi Stadium. This will give the Red Devils a glimpse of what to expect for their UEFA Super Cup tie.
Marca report that the Portuguese tactician has devised a plan to keep his team’s plan a secret from Zidane’s crew. This includes prohibiting players crossing paths and greeting each other, and taking pictures during the tactical part of their training.
Man United players were at UCLA in California, training for the first of their two summer clashes with the Champions League holders. Mourinho’s desire to keep onlookers from getting a sneak peek at Man United’s plan forced security guards to catch people watching the Red Devils’ training session.
Mourinho would love to get one better of his former side. However, the Premier League outfit’s Spanish core – De Gea, Herrera, Mata – makes it difficult to avoid even the courtesy of a greeting when they clash with Real Madrid.
