Once again, the Manchester United team bus was late to a Champions League group stage clash. The motor coach was stuck in horrendous traffic, and despite switching to a team hotel that was much closer to Old Trafford, their arrival was tardy once more.
Their opponents, Juventus, had the same problem, as they showed up late to the match too.
United boss Jose Mourinho took the situation into his own hands, or should we say legs and feet.
"I walked in a hoodie, in the middle of the fans, no one recognised me. I took two minutes."

Mourinho actually got out and walked to the stadium, and he said that it took him just two minutes…covering the same ground that the bus could not traverse in 45 minutes due to gridlocked traffic.
He actually walked through the fans too! The Portugese wore a hooded sweat shirt so that no one would recognize him.
What a great story! Hilarious too.
