The lucky Manchester United fan who got Jose Mourinho’s UEFA Super Cup second-place medal is a Nigerian kid named Deji. Mourinho walked up to the stand in Macedonia, pointed to Deji and gave him the medal.
The manager still found time to make one young fan’s day by handing him his medal. Mourinho claims the silverware will mean more to the supporter than him, because medals ‘don’t mean much’ to him even when his side win.‘Look sometimes when I win I don’t keep the medals, so imagine when I lose,’ he said.‘And for me the medal will go to someplace in my house and for that kid it’s for sure something to keep and remember.‘It was a little kid in a Manchester United shirt, so I think for the kid it is something he will never forget and for me, I repeat when I win they don’t mean much, imagine when I lose.’Deji's brother shared his photo on Twitter and revealed that won’t be the kid’s last medal as he hopes to win more in his football career.“Jose's medal wouldn't be the last. Wicked left foot. Would post vids once they are back from Macedonia #mufc @ManUtd,” the kid’s brother with the Twitter handle @Souprhim wrote alongside a short clip of the young Nigerian playing football. The ex-Chelsea boss threw his winners’ medal into the crowd following their Premier League triumph in 2006 and also gave away his medal following the 2015 Community shield.
