Man U’s Jose Mourinho Promises Not To ‘enter Fights’ With Man City’s Pep Guardiola Next Season

New coach of Manchester United, Jose Mourinho has kind
of promised not to enter into squabbles with new
Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola next season.
Guardiola and Jose Mourinho’s rivalry can be traced
back to their time at Barcelona and Madrid respectively
where they engaged in so many media slurs and at one
time Mourinho even poked the eye of Guardiola’s
assistant.

The former Real Madrid and Barcelona managers
recommence their rivalry at the helms of United and
Manchester City this summer. But Mourinho, who also
gave a glimpse into his £200million transfer plans, says
focusing on the man that once called him ‘the f***ing
boss’ could allow an outsider to take the title.

While in Spain, Mourinho says he could afford to bash
the EX-Barcelona coach because there were no other
sharks but in England you can’t take your eye off the
prize and just focus all your energy on on opponent this
season or it’ll cost you.

Quoted by the Daily Mail, Mourinho spoke about the
truce with his former rival:

(What has happened in the past) does not allow me to be
innocent. For two years Pep and I were in a league
where the champion would be either me or him, Real
Madrid or Barcelona.”

Speaking at Lisbon University’s Faculty of Human
Kinetics, he added: “In a situation like this, individual
fights make sense because they can influence things.
“[But] in the Premier League, if I focus on him and
Manchester City, and he on me and Manchester United,
someone else is going to win the league.”

Leicester were the shock winners of the latest Premier
League title and Mourinho expects the competition to be
as fierce as ever next term.

He said: “The level of the Premier League is going to get
better with the players and coaches who will come.
“Four champions in four years (Leicester, Chelsea, City
and United) shows how competitive it is, and also says a
lot about the television rights and its distribution, which
will allow the growth of the league and all its teams.
“It is different to other leagues where the sharks will
always be sharks.”
