When the referee blew the whistle thrice, the Crimson Stadium boiled over. They gave a parting gift to Twain, one last victory, as they wanted.
Only Manchester United players and fans were left sad and dejected. They appeared particularly desolate in the happy atmosphere.
Twain, who had wanted to go shake Mourinho's hand after the game to complete the ceremony, knew Mourinho was not a patient man. However, as soon as he got up, he was hugged by David Kerslake next to him. The assistant manager said nothing, just squeezed him.
A group of reporters swarmed up next to them and took endless frenzied shots.
When Twain broke free of Kerslake's embrace after some effort, he turned his head to look for Mourinho and was surprised to find that the other man was still standing outside waiting for him!
Twain pushed aside the press and walked toward Mourinho with an extended hand.
"I thought you would have already left, Mr. Mourinho."
