Mourinho had a few falling outs with players at Man United but he and McTominay always had a good relationship
It was a nice touch from Mourinho, who was widely praised for giving the then 21-year-old extra recognition.talkSPORT’s Andy Goldstein, who worked for MUTV on the night of the awards, reveals it only became apparent the Portuguese would present it halfway through the evening. Goldstein said on Drive: “When I was doing the Man United Player of the Year awards for MUTV, and he was manager, we were doing the live show in a studio next to the awards.
“You’ve got the bog-standard awards like the Matt Busby Award, Player of the Year but we got wind of the fact on the night that Jose wanted to make up his own award and give an award out.“I don’t mean in the afternoon of the awards ceremony, I mean during the evening. The evening started at 8pm, and at about 9:30pm we got wind of the fact that Jose wanted to give out an award. Maybe it was earlier but it was halfway through the night.“But with an award, you need a trophy.
