The Portuguese coach and his squad jetted to Shanghai from Manchester airport on Tuesday ahead of their six-day pre-season tour of China.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Mourinho was originally allocated one of 30 business class seats on the 12-hour Aeroflot flight.
But when he discovered the rest of his backroom staff were sitting in economy class, the 53-year-old gave up his comfortable seat to sit with them.
You would have thought the money united are making out of the tour they could have all gone business class...
