The 53-year-old claims that the paparazzi are outside the Lowry Hotel every day
The Portuguese manager said: 'You know the history of the paparazzi. For the hotel and the brand that sponsors me, the clothes brand, it's amazing because they are there every day,' Mourinho told Sky Sports.
'Everybody knows the name of the hotel. Everybody knows the last arrivals of that brand. So, for them, it is amazing.
'For me, it's a bit of a disaster because I want sometimes to walk a little bit and I can't. I just want to cross the bridge and go to a restaurant. I can't, so it is really bad.
'But I have my apps and I can ask for food to also be delivered, which I do sometimes.

The 53-year-old manager, who says he might buy an apartment and not a giant house in Manchester, also claims that it is unlikely his wife, Tami, and children will follow him up north.
He insists that his 16-year-old son, Jose Jr, and 19-year-old daughter, Matilde, are very settled in London currently.
Mourinho added: 'So, they are at an age where they can't chase me like they did before. So, for the first time, the family lives in a different way. We try to feel it, we try to see the evolution of our feelings and see how we cope with the situation.
Unfortunately for United, it emerged on Tuesday that they will be without centre-back Eric Bailly for up to two months.
Sportsmail understand that the Ivorian suffered a lateral knee ligament injury in the 4-0 defeat by Chelsea.
