Birthday boy Jose bears gift

Last updated : 26 January 2005 By Paul Lagan
Jose Mourinho is 42 today - but it will be he who bears gifts at Old Trafford tonight.

It will be the first time Jose has returned as manager to Old Trafford since his famous jig down the touchline last March.

He had just seen his Porto team dump United out of the Champions League after scoring a late goal.

Whatever the result, Jose will be sharing a bottle of Portugal's finest wine with his counterpart.

Two weeks ago, after the 0-0 1st leg draw in the Carling Cup semi at Stamford Bridge, Fergie and Jose complained about the poor quality of the post-match drinkie-poo.

There will be no repeat of that error and hopefully no repeat of the scoreless performance from the Blues as Chelsea seek to meet Liverpool in the final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on February 27.
