Marco Silva is Portuguese, he dresses well and likes his teams to remain tight at the back... he's Hull's mini Mourinho

Young, ambitious, smartly-dressed, highly tactically-aware, Portuguese... and represented by Jorge Mendes. It'll be like looking into a mirror for Jose Mourinho when he comes up against his compatriot and new Hull City manager Marco Silva at Old Trafford in Tuesday night's EFL Cup semi-final first leg.

Mourinho came to the attention of the British public in 2004 when celebrated a Champions League goal against Manchester United with a vigorous run along the touchline at Old Trafford.

He was just 41-years-old then, the new kid on the block Silva is only 39 now and has also enjoyed a big moment in England, leading Olympiakos to a 3-2 victory against Arsenal at The Emirates at the start of last season.
