Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has been revealed as 'the scared one' after the Portuguese manager's tattoo artist Scott McLaren described how the Red Devils' boss initially ducked out of getting 'inked'.

Speaking to SunSport, the London artist explained that he gave Mourinho a design of the nickname of his kids and wife on his wrist, in his Fulham Tattoo Centre in 2013 but revealed that the 54-year-old had previously shied away from having it done after wife Matilde was inked in a Los Angeles parlour in 2013.

“He said he was originally getting it done with her in LA when he was with Real Madrid on pre-season. But after she got hers done, he chickened out and his wife wasn’t happy with him."
