Arsenal vs Manchester United: Mourinho speaks ahead of clash, gives injury update


Jose Mourinho has said that Saturday’s English Premier League clash between Manchester United and Arsenal is not a must-win game.
The Portuguese also gave update on his injured players.
The Old Trafford outfit sit in second position, eight points adrift leaders Manchester City.
A win will see them put pressure on Pep Guardiola’s men who will host West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium 24 hours later.
Addressing his pre-match conference, Mourinho said, “I play a game at a time. I play a game at a time and is the way to do it, is the way to do it.
“Yesterday I was watching an interesting movie, Borg vs McEnroe, and Borg’s coach was telling him that all the time – ‘one point at a time, think about just one point’.
“I tell my players to just think about the game. It’s just the game, it’s Arsenal, we don’t think about how many points we are behind, it’s just Arsenal.
“It’s difficult enough for us to be focused on other things, so just focus on this.”
On his criticized defensive style of play, he added, “It depends with what you think about risk, I think in the beginning of football, the guy who decides to say defenders, attackers, this guy was bad, because everybody has to defend and attack, especially in modern football,” he added.
“So for me you can say what you want, my goalkeeper needs to know what to do when his team has the ball, how to attack, and my striker needs to know how to defend and what to do. This is simple, for me it’s simple.
“I think I will always try to play the best possible team, even the CL match was a must win match I think I would forget it, I would go for the game one game at a time and I would go for the most important game now, is tomorrow and is difficult enough for you to be not focused and not be thinking about other things.”

The issue seem to have been resolved by the Nigerian police, with Davido vindicated and Caroline Danjuma embracing peace. But as expected, Davido addressed the issue on his latest single, Fia.
