Jose Mourinho

Man United manager Jose Mourinho said that he holds a position of great responsibility as the manager of Man United club which is the club of the quarter of the planet fans and he will do everything he could to bring them glory and success although he cannot meet every one of them across the world.



Mourinho Promise


Mourinho’s promise came ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, in which Manchester will look to make a fourth consecutive win after victories over Swansea City, Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, and Benfica in the Champions League.

In a pre-match press conference held at the Aon Training Complex, Mourinho said that he cannot talk to every single fan to explain why he needs their support.

“I cannot meet how many millions [of United fans],” he told reporters. “I think a quarter of the planet is Manchester United Red, I cannot meet a quarter of the planet.
Mourinho also said that the only thing he could do is what he had done since the first day for him in the club fighting and giving everything he had to get as much support as he could for his players who fighting hard and doing their best and that is the only thing he could promise.

Man United Manager Angry with the Press

The Portuguese went on to discuss how United’s early-season success has quickly been forgotten by the press, as well as revealing his belief that injuries have played their part.
“I think it’s my fault because I should cry every week about our injuries and remind everyone day after day, press conference after press conference, of our injury situation,” he said.
“Any other manager would be talking about Paul Pogba every day – but I don’t, only when you ask me about his situation,” he added. “But also, it’s not just Pogba, it’s [Marouane] Fellaini, it’s [Michael] Carrick, it’s [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic, it’s Marcos Rojo – it’s a big group of players [that we are missing].
“I think we are doing very well, and really, I think that [journalists] and specialists know the kind of football we were playing at the beginning of the season and now you pretend we never played amazing football, we never scored amazing goals, but I know you remember that.
“Of course, we miss our players, but we’ve played big matches without them, and we’re going to play one more without them again.”

Jose Mourinho forced Mark Clattenburg into retiring Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho forced Mark Clattenburg into quitting his role as a referee after criticising him in the Red Devils’ 1-1 draw with Stoke last season.

Pep Guardiola says the chance to make history is not playing on his mind  Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says the chance to make history is not playing on his mind as he prepares for Sunday's derby with rivals Manchester United. If City win the game it will be their 14th league victory in a row - a record in a single Premier League season. However, Guardiola says his focus is only on developing a strategy to beat Jose Mourinho's side. "The record will be broken, my concern is how we win the game," he said. "If you play one game thinking about records you forget what you have to do." This is the first derby since April 2013 where the two clubs occupy the top two positions in the table. If City win at Old Trafford they will move 11 points clear while United would close the gap to five with victory. Guardiola believes it is far too early to suggest the match could be a title decider. "Winning, drawing or losing on Sunday, we
