Jose makes peace with Charlton

Jose Mourinho made peace with Bobby Charlton as Manchester United's new manager met the Old Trafford icon at the club's Carrington training ground on Monday.

Charlton has been a harsh critic of Mourinho and was understood to have objected to his potential appointment when United was looking for a successor to Alex Ferguson in 2013.

The 78-year-old, a member of United's board of directors, also criticized Mourinho in 2012 for poking Barcelona's assistant coach Tito Vilanova in the eye during a heated touchline clash, saying at the time: "A United manager wouldn't do that. Mourinho is a really good coach, but that's as far as I would go, really. He pontificates too much for my liking. He's a good manager, though."
