Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United career will be well and truly under way on Friday night as his side welcome Southampton to Old Trafford.
The Portuguese boss’ time at United so far has been filled with ‘firsts’, such as his first match in charge, his first competitive game and his first outing as the Reds’ manager in the Premier League.
There wont be much more of that after Friday, though, with this match set to be Mourinho’s first competitive game as United boss at Old Trafford.
The former Chelsea boss has managed at United’s famous stadium many times with sides like Porto, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, and the Portuguese even led the United side in Wayne Rooney’s testimonial earlier this month.
But this will perhaps be the most memorable of all for Mourinho, and he will hope to celebrate his first game in his new ‘house’ with a victory.
Whilst many will expect Mourinho to start in style against Southampton, it’s worth noting that not all United have managers have had such a smooth start to life at Old Trafford. Take a look at the previous five Reds boss’ first home games here:
