At this point, he looks like a mix of the best centre-midfielders to ply their trade in the Premier League combining Roy Keane’s engine, with Scholes’ passing, Viera’s defensive capabilities and Gerrard’s all-action approach. “I will enjoy the game”.

Rooney is not the player he once was, he is not playing as well as he would in the past, but he still deserves a starting spot because of his experience. Whatever I said to him I spoke face to face. I don’t think he is motivated.
Mourinho has had less time to work with his players this week because most have been on global duty – Antonio Valencia, Marcos Rojo and Sergio Romero only arrived back in time for training on Friday – and he says Aguero’s absence means there are many different scenarios he needs to drill with his players.

Fans have to trust Guardiola’s judgment and it will be interesting to see how he performs if he starts tonight. He rates himself higher than Guardiola and both coaches never seem to hold back from hitting each other at the slightest provocation.
“So, they are what they are since I return to England in 2013”.
