Jose Mourinho has given his Manchester United players most of Christmas off to spend with their families.

Mourinho will also make the most of the extended break by going home to London to spend Christmas Eve with his wife Matilde and their two children.
However, United's plans to train at Old Trafford is bad news for the extra 50 security and ground staff who will now need to work on Christmas Day.
Mourinho's men are preparing for a busy festive period, with Southampton travelling to Old Trafford four days after the Burnley clash before United visit Everton on New Year's Day.
