Now playing for Seoul FC, Lingard described the Portuguese coach as surprisingly “chill” in their interactions.
In an interview with The Independent, Lingard said: "Mourinho was so chilled sometimes.
"He used to FaceTime me from his room in the Lowry (hotel), ask me what I’m doing. I thought that was a real confidence boost.
“During that season, leading up to the 2018 World Cup, Jose played me most games… it was a big season."
