JOSE Mourinho has stated that his attention is to defeat his former side, Manchester United, when he takes his new team, Tottenham, to Old Trafford on Wednesday.
Mourinho, who spoke at the pre-match press conference, described his time in the United as a ‘closed chapter’, noting that Hotspur was better in-form at the moment.
“I left the club, I took my time to process everything that happened, I took my time to prepare myself for the next challenge.
“Honestly, United for me is in my book of experiences, it’s in my history book.” United are struggling under Mourinho’s successor, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but go into the game just two points behind fifth-placed Spurs. “It is not for me to analyse United now.”
“I analyse them as an opponent, how they play. How can we beat them? How can they beat us? For me, that is the important thing.” Mourinho is excited about the prospect of returning to Old Trafford.
He further said: “I feel good, I like to play big matches, I like to play against the best teams and go back to a place where I was happy. “I have a great relationship with the Manchester United supporters. I went back as a pundit and I was humbled by such a beautiful reception.
“Tomorrow I go back as the coach of the team that will try and beat Manchester United. “I understand that what they want is the exact opposite of what I want. Of course, during the match I expect them to forget me.”
