A touch of class from Jose Mourinho isn’t something you come across too often.
The new Manchester United manager signed Eric Bailly for £30m earlier this week, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic also looks set to join the club, but Mourinho has proved he still has time for the players on the fringes of his new squad.
Paddy McNair, currently on international duty with Northern Ireland, has featured less than 30 times in the United first-team, but Mourinho text him ahead of Euro 2016 to wish him luck.
“He sent me a text message wishing me good luck for the tournament – that was nice of him,” the 21-year-old defender said.
“I’m sure he’ll be watching and I’ll be trying my best and hopefully he likes what he sees.”
McNair also revealed that former United manager Alex Ferguson also wished him luck for Euro 2016.
“After the FA Cup final I was getting in the lift and he wished me good luck for the tournament and said he’d be there watching.”
