Unlike his previous unveilings at Chelsea, there were no gimmicks this time around as Jose Mourinho was introduced as Manchester United manager. There was no "Special One" or the "Happy One," rather he had a very down to earth and measured approach to the questions he was asked.

The only moment when he did come across slightly rattled came when he was questioned about his attitude to promoting youth, which is a cornerstone of Manchester United's philosophy, and something he has been criticised for failing to do at his previous clubs.
