Yesterday's press conference probably ranked among the most grating of Jose Mourinho's career - and that is saying an awful lot.

And finally, he had to deal with this question.
The proud Portuguese man was asked whether he was 'happy' that his nation had ended their major tournament drought at Euro 2016.
For weeks Jose Mourinho has been playing nice in public as he starts his Manchester United career, but his response to this 'brilliant' query was pure Special One.
I bet the reporter who asked the question didn't feel brilliant after being on the receiving end of this response.
Mourinho not impressed with the lack of challenging questions. Is he happy Portugal won the Euros? https://t.co/xRmhQmO3o8
