Jose Mourinho SNIFFS his watch and looks incredibly anxious in tense final moments of Manchester United’s draw with Celta Vigo
JOSE MOURINHO baffled viewers when he SNIFFED his watch amid the tense final moments of Manchester United’s draw with Celta Vigo.
Looking incredibly anxious and sick to his stomach with just four minutes of added time and the score 2-1 on aggregate, the Special One started to act strangely.
Mourinho began looking incredibly nervous like he was about to be sick
After Marouane Fellaini’s first half header gave them the lead, their football became too negative and invited Celta to try and try again.
United managed to hold firm, but Facundo Roncaglia’s late goal for the Spanish visitors before Eric Bailly’s red card along with Roncaglia for a scuffle – so Mourinho’s blood pressure was probably high enough.
He then looks at his watch with just minutes to go of the Europa League semi-finalAnd Mourinho proceeds to sniff - or perhaps kiss - the timepiece in a bizarre way

But the cameras caught him looking at his watch as the clock ticked down, before either sniffing or maybe kissing his timepiece for good luck.
Whatever it was, the Gods smiled kindly on it as United held firm - but only thanks to a woeful last second miss by Celta striker and former Manchester City player John Guidetti.

And you would think Mourinho may be doing a LOT more good-luck sniffing if his team play as badly as they did for the most part of last night's match.
