JOSE MOURINHO was spotted blowing kisses and waving to the Manchester United fans against Liverpool – ten months after he was sacked for losing against the Reds.
It was a happy return to Old Trafford for the Special One who watched the clash from the Sky Sports studio alongside Roy Keane and Graeme Souness.
Fans even called for him to return to the club after seeing Mourinho’s love for the supporters still, as one person tweeted: “Bring him back.”
Another added: “I still have respect for Mourinho.”
A third simply stated: “Love that guy.”
Though one suggested: “Kiss was for the ladies.”
Despite the love being shown to Mourinho inside the stadium, supporters weren’t smiling come the full-time whistle after Adam Lallana netted a late equaliser as Jurgen Klopp’s men earned a share of the spoils.
United looked set to end Liverpool’s unbeaten run in the Premier League after Marcus Rashford broke the deadlock in another goal marred by VAR controversy.
Speaking after the match, Mourinho insisted Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should be proud of the performance from his players.
He said: “Liverpool did something in the last 20 minutes of the game to give Man Utd problems.
“They got more people through the middle, more people in the box – but I think Ole and United, after such a great effort, will feel a bit disappointed.
“At the start of the game I was asking United for heart. They had it but they had more than that. They were organised, they had a gameplan that they stuck to.
“But (Souness) asked before the game if they could keep the defensive intensity for 90 minutes and they couldn’t. Liverpool were on top at the end. The result is probably fair but if I were Ole I’d be proud but also frustrated.”
