Jose Mourinho made a surprise appearance at the Monaco GP as the Manchester United manager takes a break from football following his side's Europa Cup win.

Speaking to Sky Sports F1, Mourinho revealed he was intent on taking a month off from his day job and started his mini-break in style as he arrived in the Monte Carlo paddock just in time for Saturday's all-important qualifying hour.

"I don't care about football for a month.

"I have no idea if Antoine Griezmann will come to United. Ask Ed Woodward. He knows since March who I want, what I want and how much I want. Now is for him to work."
