Man Utd news: Jose Mourinho takes swipe at Man City ahead of Old Trafford clash
MANCHESTER UNITED boss Jose Mourinho has aimed a barb at Manchester City ahead of the weekend’s clash.
Manchester United host their crosstown rivals Manchester City on Sunday (4.30pm).
The fixture will see Mourinho come up against his old foe Pep Guardiola, who has seen his side make a sensational start to the campaign, and they are unbeaten in 15 Premier League games.
United warmed up for the game with a 2-1 win over CSKA Moscow in their final Champions League group game to qualify for the knockout stage as group winners.
Prior to that, the Red Devils enjoyed a 3-1 victory over Arsenal.

They have phenomenal organisation, we are a bit more humble
The Manchester derby has assumed more of an important role in recent years, with City continually challenging for the title ever since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
And when questioned about how his side are shaping up ahead of the derby showdown, Mourinho said: “No. Our opponents always have issues and they have big issues and in the end everybody is ready to play.
“They have phenomenal organisation, we are a bit more humble. When we have a problem, we have a problem.

“The players that are injured are injured. I tell you the truth. Tomorrow is a day off and, on a day off, I don’t think about football.
“Only Thursday will I start thinking about the derby."
City in the meantime, travel to face Shakhtar Donetsk tonight (7.45pm) in their final Champions League game.
