If Jose Mourinho has his way, this won't become the norm at Manchester United

The club's new manager has reportedly restricted his athletes from playing Pokemon Go for two days before each match. 

Per John Mahoney of the Daily Star, a "club source" said, "He says for 48 hours before a match he wants the guys to leave it alone and concentrate on the tactics he and his staff have been working on in the days before." 

It's not hard to envision why a manager would take this type of action—especially given the lengths some folks will go to grab a Pokemon.
