Curt Mourinho admits Guardiola is a ´very good manager´

Have your say in the comments section below. They bought some more very good players. Keane, who was banned for three games, later admitted in his autobiography it had been a pre-meditated attack, saying he had “waited long enough”.

“For the short time, we play good in some moments”. He has also strengthened at centre-back and in midfield and I am particularly excited by Henrikh Mkhitaryan who should prove to be a sensationally good player. They played in Venezuela and then they go to Argentina, and then from Argentina they come back to Europe.

“If you want to be successful, if you want to win the game, you have to be in the top of your qualities”.

“The big players don’t have to understand the league or need time”.

A landmark early-season victory for City who delivered the ultimate slap in the face to their rivals by inflicting their worst home defeat since 1955, leaving United manager Alex Ferguson to rue his “worst ever day” in charge.

Talk surrounding that relationship is, though, compounded by chatter about this match’s implications on the title race and sub-plots such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic facing his former manager, but Mourinho is ignoring such background noise. “He will have an answer for any problem the other team pose”.

“It’s a pleasure to be here, working with him and learning from him and I have to take advantage over the course of the years from all his experience”.

Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho lead their men into battle and will look to land the first blow in what promises to be a thrilling title race.

Mourinho and Guardiola have been cast as the pragmatist and the purist, but both men are proven winners and will demand instant success from their teams.

“If someone scored more than him or spoke more than him, they’d be in trouble”.

“He was my coach, my assistant coach [when playing under] Sir Bobby Robson [at Barcelona]”.

I think United will be too powerful for a City team full of small, smart players, particularly up front and in midfield. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba, and Marouane Fellaini all check in taller than six-foot three. No contest! I am not convinced by Stones and I reckon he will get caught out in this game. “They’re the games everyone speaks about”.

“Josep Guardiola is a fantastic coach”, Mourinho said, “but I have won two Champions Leagues”.
