Jose Mourinho comes on as sub in charity game

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho was a sub on Saturday at Loftus Road in the Game4Grenfell.

The Portuguese tactician featured in the final 27 minutes of the Game4GreenFell fund raising charity game.

Mourinho was introduced in goal the 63rd minute, replacing David James and he was straight into the action punching the ball away from a corner. The Manchester United boss was then cautioned for time-wasting, much to the amusement of the Loftus Road crowd.

As the game came to a clsoe QPR legend Kevin Gallen went close for Team Shearer, while Merson almost won it for Team Ferdinand but at the end of the 90 minutes the two sides couldn't be separated.

It meant the #Game4Grenfell would be decided by a penalty shoot-out with the goalkeepers Mourinho and Edwards from Kasabian.

Firefighters and Grenfell residents stepped up to take the penalties and it was left to Olly Murs to fire home the winning penalty past Mourinho, who scored one himself, to win the game for Team Ferdinand.
