Life in Manchester “bit of a disaster’’- Mourinho

Jose Mourinho

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has said he has struggled to adapt to life in Manchester, labelling his living arrangement in the city as “bit of a disaster”.

The Portuguese has endured a mixed start to his stint as United’s boss, having lost three of his nine league games, including a 4-0 hammering in the hands of Chelsea on Sunday.

Away from the pitch, the 53-year old said he was far from settled in England’s northwest city, staying without his family for the first time.

“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 for a restaurant. I can’t, so it is really bad.

“Buy a house? I do not know, I do not know. The reality is that my daughter will be 20 next week; my son will be 17 in a couple of months.

“They are very stable. So, they are in 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.’’

Mourinho also expressed frustration at dealing with the constant attention of the paparazzi.

“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 added.

“Everybody knows the name of the hotel. Everybody knows the last arrivals of that brand. So, for them, it is amazing.”

Mourinho will seek a quick response from his side after the defeat against his former side when they take on rivals Manchester City in the League Cup this Wednesday.

Houthis Claim Attack on Central Israel in Response to Gaza ‘Massacres’

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has taken a concerning regional turn as the Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for an attack on central Israel. The group announced this as part of their escalating response to what they describe as "massacres" in Gaza amid the Israeli military’s operations in the strip. Details of the Attack The Houthis, a Shiite militant group with ties to Iran, declared that they launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel. While the exact impact of these attacks remains unclear, reports suggest that Israel’s defense systems intercepted several threats over its airspace. This marks a significant escalation as the Houthis widen their involvement in the conflict beyond their typical operations within Yemen and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The Houthis’ Justification In their statement, the Houthis framed the attack as retaliation for Israel’s military actions in Gaza, which they characterized as indiscriminate bombings resultin...
