DAVID SHONFIELD: United game a chance at redemption for troubled Mourinho

It is the game the world is waiting to see, according to José Mourinho, and he may well be right.

But at least some of the interest generated by tomorrow night’s clash at the Bernabeu is not in the game so much as whether Mourinho can rescue himself from a potential wreck.

Real Madrid won well on Saturday, 4-1 against Sevilla. Cristiano Ronaldo hit another hat-trick and equally important their new goalkeeper Diego Lopez gave a reassuring display against his old club.
