Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho has declared that his team is better than Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Mourinho said this while highlighting United’s progress this season ahead of their clash with league leaders Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola ’s team will win the title next weekend with victory over the Red Devils at the Etihad.
The Portuguese has, however, played down the magnitude of the meeting with Man City, claiming that he had not thought about the clash.
Instead, his focus was on Manchester United’s hold on second place ahead of Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea, who he believes have been given more credit than his team.
“When is that? Next week? I’m not thinking yet about it,” he said when asked by reporters about the derby.
“Manchester City is not important for me, what is important for me is that since the moment we left the first position and went to second, we stayed there for the whole of the season.
“We deserved to finish second in spite of what you can say, the criticism you make. You say third, fourth, fifth, sixth are better than us but they are not because we have more points than them.
“We are going to fight every match. Seven matches to go, we are going to fight to finish second.
“I think we have 10 more points than last season, something like that.
“We have more goals scored, we have less goals conceded, we finish sixth, we’re going to try to finish second, so the season is not as bad as you try to make it,” he said.
