FC Rostov coach Kurban Berdyev has revealed what the mysterious gift he received from Jose Mourinho was.
The Manchester United boss sparked interest when he was pictured handing over a black box to the away dressing room prior to his side's Europa League second leg at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils went on to win the tie 1-0 and progressed to the quarter-finals thanks to a 70th minute Juan Mata goal.
But since the clash, the contents of the box have been shrouded in mystery... until now.

Mourinho and Berdyev go way back having first met when Inter Milan took on Rubin Kazan in the group stages of the 2009/10 Champions League.
Mourinho's Inter went on to win the competition that year to give the Portuguese his second Champions League title, and he clearly had not forgotten his old rival.
