Manchester United vs Arsenal: Olly Murs reunites with Jose Mourinho as Red Devils train for Old Trafford clash

1/9
Standard Sport17 November 2016

Jose Mourinho has found life tough at Manchester United, so it was just as well that a familiar face dropped by to cheer up the Special One ahead of Arsenal's visit to Old Trafford.

Pop star Olly Murs worked with Mourinho for Soccer Aid charity matches for UNICEF at Old Trafford in 2014 and earlier this year, and the pair reunited against a rainbow backdrop at United's Carrington training complex on Wednesday.

The United fan also met up with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata among other Old Trafford stars, who were busy preparing for Saturday's midday clash against Premier League title hopefuls Arsenal.

No stranger to the limelight, Mourinho - who recently completed an FA touchline ban - famously ran onto the Old Trafford pitch to tackle Murs back in 2014 in a feat you can watch below.

Mourinho's men are eight points off league leaders Liverpool after 11 games, and will need a positive result against Arsene Wenger's Gunners to avoid slipping too far behind in the title race heading into a busy festive fixture list.
