Happy match day eve everybody! Manchester United commence Premier League play after the international break at the Brittania Stadium, a place they have not won since 2013.
Despite that fact, the Red Devils are heavily favored to win at Stoke City on Saturday. Manager Jose Mourinho gave his weekly news conference a few hours ago, and we have the video of it for you below via YouTube. Take a look, as the video itself is just over 10 minutes:
