Chinese coaches hope the magic of Mourinho and the guile of Guardiola will rub off on them as they attempt to dramatically improve football in the world's most populous country.

A group of 57 Chinese coaches is in Manchester on an intensive 12-week training and management course. During that time they will drop in on the training grounds of United and City to see coaches Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola in action, Xinhua said.

They will also visit St George's Park, the training base of English football, as part of the initiative run by the University of Manchester and Manchester Football Association. The course is one of three in Britain this year for coaches from schools and universities across China, its consulate in Manchester said.
