Mourinho Surprised Everyone By Doing This At The POTY Awards

Jose Mourinho seems to have gone for a taste of variety recently, as he made up his own Player of the Year award and handed it to a player of his choice.

It’s not something which exists beyond the Under-16 Sunday leagues, however, the Portuguese tactician has taken the initiative to encourage the players who were overshadowed by skilful figures.

Displaying a marvellous campaign between the posts, David de Gea yet again secured Manchester United’s Player of the Year title.

But the Mancunian gaffer named Scott McTominay his own Player of the Year, presenting the youngster with a trophy.
