JOSE: IT COSTS TOO MUCH TO SACK ME

JOSE MOURINHO has joked that he is safe from being sacked by Manchester United because it would cost the club too much. Sunday’s 2-0 win at Burnley eased the pressure on manager Mourinho, 55, after back-to-back defeats by Brighton and Tottenham. He signed a new deal worth £15million-a-year in January that also guaranteed him a year’s money as a pay-off if he is fired. After Sunday’s win he said: ‘If they sent me away, do you have any idea how much they would have to give me?’
