Jose Mourinho had a coin thrown at him at the end of Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Manchester City at the Etihad, but opted not to complain to officials about the reckless behaviour of a supporter.

Rather, the Portuguese decided to completely diffuse the situation with a cool reaction to the incident in stoppage time.

Mourinho picked up the pound coin that was lobbed in his direction and handed it to one of the ball boys.

A source close to the Manchester United boss told the Daily Star: ‘Some guy threw it at him and he told the boy to take it.




‘Every pound can help make you a millionaire.’

It’s perhaps no surprise the United manager was in such a relaxed mood after the epic 3-2 win against their local rivals.

At half-time, having been completely outplayed by Pep Guardiola’s champions elect, United found themselves 2-0 down after goals from Vincent Kompany and Ilkay Gundogan.

However, a quick-fire Paul Pogba double sparked a United comeback at the start of the second period, with Chris Smalling applying the finishing touch to a magical afternoon.
