Manchester United Manager, Jose Mourinho insists that the Super Sunday fixture between his current side Manchester United and former club Chelsea is no grudge match, as there was nothing special about Chelsea anymore. The former Chelsea manager noted that collecting three points against a rival team is more important to him than beating a side he used to manage.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, Mourinho insists Sunday's game holds no extra significance.
"When you leave a club, what keeps that extra feeling of playing against your previous club is when you leave with a negative feeling or have stones in your shoes. I didn't leave with negative feelings. As a professional, I always accept decisions from the club. I gave everything I could to the club so no negative feelings. It's just a very important match because we are separated by just a few points and we have similar ambitions."
Asked about his opinion on the current Chelsea squad, the 'Special One' said;
"They are very strong defensively and showed that a few days ago against probably the most talented team (Barcelona). In attack they have individuality and I know them very well because I coached all of them - [Alvaro] Morata at Real Madrid, [Eden] Hazard, Pedro and Willian at Chelsea. Individually they can all resolve matches."
