A tired-looking Jose Mourinho emerged from Manchester's Lowry Hotel early on Friday morning as the United boss set about putting the finishing touches to his plans for this weekend's huge clash.
Mourinho called on his supporters to not 'come to the theatre' when the club's fierce rivals come to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, after criticising the atmosphere during the rather sedate win over Hull in the EFL Cup semi-final first leg.
The Portuguese looked like a man on a mission as he headed to Carrington just after 8am on Friday morning with midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan wrapped up as he made the same route to training.
