Earn Mour, burn more

AS well as reminding fans they can “see every kick of every match of the 2017 Tour, presented by Aon, on the new MUTV app”, Ed Woodward declared the five-match summer trip to America as “ideal for the manager and the team to prepare” for the 17/18 camapign.

Jose Mourinho (right) is, apparently, a big fan of the States, but, in an ideal world, would he choose to play Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester City, among others, in a far-off land ahead of next season?

He knows there are commercial obligations. It’s why he can command an eightfigure salary, so he is happy.

But when the burn-out argument kicks in, people will know what they did last summer.
