Manchester United land in China looking to expand game in Asian market

José Mourinho chose not to sit in business class for Manchester United’s 12-hour flight to China for the start of their summer tour because his coaching staff had been allocated seats in economy.

Mourinho decided to join his six-strong backroom team on the Aeroflot aircraft to Shanghai rather than sit with his players. There were around 30 seats in business class and 25 were taken up by the United squad, so the manager sat with Rui Faria, his No2, and coaches Silvino Louro, Ricardo Formosinho, Carlos Lalin, Emilio Alvarez and Giovanni Cerra.
