Jose Mourinho is always joking around in training, reveals Jesse Lingard

Jesse Lingard admits he has been shocked by Jose Mourinho, because he keeps cracking jokes. 

'He's the main coach and the main manager. He takes all the sessions and, while he wants us to work hard, he is always cracking jokes and having banter with the players,' he told The Mirror.

'I thought he'd be very strict but, even though he works us hard and his mind is always on the job at all times, he also has a joke with the players. 

'I think that has helped the lads bond with him. 

'He has that presence and aura about him, but you can still speak to him about anything and he will always try to help.'
