Jose Mourinho gets ready for pre-season

Jose Mourinho has clearly missed his time away from football and is excitedly gearing up for next season.

The Portuguese is back in the hotseat with Manchester United following his sacking from Chelsea last season and is appears fully prepared for the campaign.

Mourinho shared an image via his Instagram account of his desk and said: 'Now is time to enjoy!!! produce pre-season training sessions...'

With masses of paper across his work station, Mourinho is plotting United's return to the top after three season of relative disappointment following Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013.

Mourinho has been using an ipad and coloured charts in his preparations to get his side ready for the big August kick-off.

A Blackberry, a watch and even a personalised pencil case featuring the United badge and the 'Special One's face were also placed on the desk in scenes of Mourinho's organised chaos.

The Red Devils will tour China this summer and play two games ahead of the Community Shield at Wembley against Premier League champions Leicester.

Meanwhile, Eric Bailly has been confirmed as Mourinho's first Manchester United signing after the Villarreal defender passed his medical at Old Trafford.

The 22-year-old, who has only played 40 top-flight matches in his fledgling career, joins on a four-year deal subject to obtaining a work permit and cost United a fee of £30million.

Speaking to the club's official website after the move was confirmed, Bailly said: 'It is a dream come true to be joining Manchester United. To play football at the highest level is all I have ever wanted to do.
