Mourinho's right-hand man to leave Manchester United

Jose Mourinho's long-serving right-hand man, Rui Faria, will leave Manchester United toward the finish of the season.

"After a ton of thought, and with a substantial heart, I have chosen the time is appropriate for me to proceed onward," he told the club's authentic site .

Faria has been associate director at Old Trafford since Mourinho assumed control two years prior, having first worked with his kindred compatriot 17 years back at the Portugese club Leiria.

"My sincere much gratitude goes to the chief, Jose Mourinho, for the conviction he had in me, each one of those years back, when everything was only an understudy dream," he included.

"The astute understudy is presently a football master, prepared for a fruitful profession as a chief," Mourinho said.

After Sunday's last Premier League diversion at home to Watford, the combine have one more indispensable match together, in Saturday's FA Cup last against their old club Chelsea.
