Man Utd: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reacts to Liverpool draw
Jose Mourinho was photographed waving to Manchester United fans from the Sky Sports studio as the home support chanted his name at Old Trafford.
The former Red Devils manager was working as a pundit alongside Roy Keane and Graeme Souness during the Premier League clash.
And the United fans paid tribute to the Portuguese boss for his work at the club during a brief stint between 2016 and 2018 by chanting his name throughout the game.
Mourinho responded with a grin and a wave out of the studio window, while he also appeared to blow a kiss to the crowd.

Woodward had claimed Solskjaer’s job was safe and he was leading the club in the right direction.
That is despite United winning just two of their first eight Premier League matches of the season before the visit of Liverpool on Sunday.
Mourinho, who was sacked by United last December, said the comments were a good PR exercise and claimed he would love to be judged as a manager with the future in mind - rather than having to get results.
“According to what we could read and watch last week, in Ole’s words and Mr Woodward’s interview and some good work they did, some good PR during the week, to make it absolutely clear or try to create a positive atmosphere for the game,” the Portuguese said on Sky Sports.

“In any case I think they did very, very well.
“What I understand is that the objectives are the future.
“I’m going to try to get a job like Ole has in the future, which is to speak all the time in the future and then you’re protected in the present.
“I think it’s a great situation as Ole was saying, three years contract, the young players, results are important but I think it’s a great job to do in such a giant club like Manchester United.”
