The Manchester United manager picked Uruguay and Russia to get out of Group A in first and second place respectively, and so it proved as Luis Suarez and Co. dispatched the hosts 3-0 in Samara to seal top spot on nine points and consign Russia to second place in the group on six points from their three games.

Mourinho also flawlessly foresaw how things would pan out in Group B – tipping Spain to squeeze out Portugal into second place.

That’s how things finished as the pair played out thrilling draws in their final games, with Spain drawing 2-2 with Morocco thanks to an injury-time equalizer, and Portugal drawing 1-1 against a plucky Iran.
