Ahead of tonight’s EFL Cup second round tie between Manchester United and Northampton Town, photos have emerged on the internet showing coach Jose Mourinho and his United’s stars training in a hotel car park.
According to Daily Mail report, Mourinho and his players were pictured Wednesday morning stretching their legs and doing some touch your toes at the car park of four-star Daventry Court hotel they are lodging against minnows Northampton Town.
This came as a surprise considering the world-class training complex in Carrington is renowned for its lush training pitches and state-of-the-art facilities.
Many wonder how United’s superstars would feel when told that Wednesday’s warmup session would take place at their hotel tarmac.
Don’t believe us? Well, take a look at the images below taken by some wise guy with a smartphone:
After three consecutive defeats, it is no surprise that Mourinho would take any measure to make sure his boys are in good shape to win matches.
Meanwhile, reports have it that Mourinho would rest Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and David de Gea for the occasion. Other big names are likely to start.
Mourinho will, however, have an eye on the weekend’s Premier League clash against Leicester City. They already trail Manchester City by six points and another defeat could effectively end their title challenge before it even begun.
