JOSE MOURINHO walked to Old Trafford to beat the traffic - his players could be accused of failing to show up.
The Manchester United boss disguised himself under a hoodie instead of inching his way bumper-to-bumper on the team bus.

United did get better and hit the post through Paul Pogba in the second half but it was not the display to get Mourinhos men fully back on track.
Mourinho hailed his teams display at Chelsea at the weekend when they were unlucky not to win.
But it was a case of one step forward and two back after getting outclassed by the Italians. This was more like the performance against Newcastle, minus the late comeback.

It summed up the mess at the club that Mourinho had to walk the final half a mile to the ground, with traffic a nightmare to get to the Theatre of Dreams.
It was all smiles in the tunnel when Pogba hugged his old Juve pals and France team-mate Blaise Matuidi.
But Pogba was a huge part of the problem. He never took control of the midfield, never won the personal duels with Matuidi - and it never gave United a chance to take control of the game.

The warning signs were there early on when Matic and Victor Lindelof were bawling at each other as Uniteds defence came under threat again.
They knew there was danger brewing and it did not take long before they were exposed for the opener.
It was too easy for Cristiano Ronaldo, back at Old Trafford, to get down the right and see his cross flick off Anthony Martial.
Chris Smalling could have done better to clear the danger as Juan Cuadrado challenged, while Lindelof was nowhere to be seen.
Matic was guilty of failing to track Dybala beyond the first few steps of his run - and was punished when the Argie hitman stroked the ball home.
David De Gea made sure United stayed within sight of the Italians with some smart goalkeeping.
The Spaniard was at full-stretch to parry away Joao Concelos drive. He was put straight away to clear more danger but had every right to blast his defenders for giving the full-back so much room.

Even when United looked to get back in the game they were struggling to feed Romelu Lukaku.
The Belgian striker, who has not scored at Old Trafford since March, cut a frustrated figure up front.
In the second half he had his shirt tugged by Giorgio Chiellini in the penalty area - but Milorad Mazic did not spot it, with United failing to get a break to get back into the game.
It meant Juve could counter-attack and De Gea was always in the game. He pulled out a stunning save to deny Ronaldo again, this time when his drive was angled towards the top corner.
Pogba hit the post with 15 minutes left with a curler after a sharp turn, with the rebound cannoning off Wojciech Szczesnys face and out for a corner.
Marcus Rashford had a late penalty shout turned down when he was nudged by Andrea Barzagli - but it was a hopeful appeal.
