Manchester United's previous home game in the UEFA Champions League saw the Red Devils earning a fine for delaying the start of their mafch against Valencia. The club took some measures to prevent such an incident from happening again, but Jose Mourinho chose to take yet one more caution to avoid one more sanction.
Speaking in the pre-match interview with BT Sport, Mourinho came clean about the fact that he chose to walk to Old Trafford, especially since the team's hotel was five minutes away from the stadium.
Furthermore, Mourinho described how he made it past the team's supporters without being recognized, in what will surely go down as a curious incident in this edition of the UEFA Champions League.
"I walked in a hoodie, in the middle of the fans, no one recognised me. I took two minutes."
