Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has revealed that Manchester United’s clash with Liverpool next month is a bigger game than facing Chelsea.
Mourinho, who can open up a six-point gap on his former club with victory at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, claimed hosting Jurgen Klopp in a fortnight is a greater occasion.
He said ‘It’s any normal game and probably playing Liverpool in a couple of weeks means more,’ Mourinho said. ‘Because for my club – and everyone knows that the most important thing is not me – to play Liverpool has a special meaning. That’s the way I have to look at things. I don’t have any bad feeling in relation to Chelsea to say “oh, I’m going to prove this and that against my former club”. I’m not going to prove anything.
He added that, ‘In fact, every club I left – by my decision or by the board – I have very good feelings towards them. I’ve never played against Inter since I left, but when I’ve faced Porto, Real Madrid and Chelsea, the feeling is a good one. It’s not a special thing. The feeling for our fans, that little extra adrenaline is not about Chelsea, it is more about Liverpool.’
