Jose Mourinho bus drives around Manchester city centre
An old London bus is being driven around Manchester city centre on the eve of the derby mocking Jose Mourinho. Mancunians spotted the bus in Piccadilly Gardens, past Manchester Victoria and on Peter Street as they went about their daily routines and have taken plenty of pictures and videos. The bus billed as 'Jose's Big Red Bus' is a reference to the United manager's supposed 'park the bus' tactic which City supporters have derided since the first derby of the season in December.

Blues have predictably lapped up the publicity stunt on social media ahead of Saturday's tea time derby. If City beat United they will become the earliest champions in the Premier League era, beating United's 2001 record by seven days.
