Bristol City boss Lee Johnson claimed Jose Mourinho ‘shot off’ before they had the chance to share his bottle of wine in the aftermath of Manchester United‘s Carabao Cup defeat.

Johnson hoped that a £450 bottle of wine, which he had flown in from Portugal, would entice Mourinho to sit down with him following the quarter-final, but it wasn’t to be.

United’s boss rushed through his post-match press conference, speaking to only one journalist before leaving, and appeared to make his way out of Ashton Gate as quickly as he could.

Johnson will be hoping for a glass with Pep Guardiola after the Robins drew Manchester City for the semi-finals of the competition.

Asked whether he shared his wine with Mourinho after the 2-1 victory, Johnson explained: ‘The wine is breathing at the moment.

‘To be honest, they shot off. I had a go at my goalie coach, I saw him having a glass.’

Johnson revealed that he had purchased a bottle of Barca Velha Red 2004 for Mourinho ahead of Wednesday night’s clash.

He said: ‘We have done the due diligence and realised Jose likes this particular bottle that has to be poured by an expert.

‘So hopefully he’ll come in and have a little chat with me and I’ll try to pick his brain for five or 10 minutes.

‘He’s absolutely at the top of his game, with world-class managerial qualities.

‘Any young coaches like myself of course naturally try and emulate coaches like that.’
