Manchester United Manager Jose Mourinho spoke to the media ahead of the Premier League clash against current title holders Leicester City. Kickoff is Sunday at 2PM GMT at Old Trafford. United’s dominant effort over the Foxes earlier this season at the King Power Stadium is among the most impressive performances that we’ve seen from the Red Devils in the Mourinho era thus far.
In previewing the match, Mourinho said: “It was amazing what Leicester did but I don’t think it could be possible to do it in the second season with Champions League at the same time.”
“They were working a whole season with one match per week — that is a big difference for them this year. They are a very good team and it’s a very difficult match for us, very difficult match for them also. Next season will be much better for them.”
Here’s what else he had to say. Below you’ll find video of his press conference, via YouTube:
