"Me and Jose had a good relationship generally, though, I have to say. He was good to me. Before all the injury stuff, he trusted me, put me in for important games.
''We won trophies and he made me a winner. He could just bring out that side in you.
"He also liked to have a personal connection with his players. Sometimes I’d look at my phone and I’d be getting a random FaceTime from him. Just out of nowhere — just to check in.
"I used to find it so strange at first. He’d call and be like, 'Hey Jesse, what are you doing?''

Meanwhile, Manchester United will be facing Leicester City in their next Premier League game.
