'Lazy' Mourinho admits he loves room service life

MANCHESTER, England - Jose Mourinho has laughed off the suggestion that his decision to live in a city center hotel shows a lack of commitment to his role as manager of Manchester United.

The Portuguese coach was forced to confirm his continued desire to remain in charge at Old Trafford following reports that senior club officials are concerned he might be preparing to leave at the end of the season.

Mourinho's choice to live in an apartment in the city center Lowry Hotel, rather than buy a permanent residence in the area, is also seen by critics at proof that the former Chelsea manager lacks a long-term wish to stay in the northwest.
