Jose Mourinho: Manchester City will be Champions

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho admitted that the team will be battling Manchester City in the attempt of keeping their English Champions league title claiming as far in the season as possible.

"The only thing I can say is that we want to win, we don't want to offer them the game," the manager told his press conference ahead of the Manchester Derby. "We want to go there and want to compete and win the match if possible. That's the only thing I can say. "It is normal that you want to delay the champions becoming champions. We would like to beat them, we would like Spurs to beat them next week, we would like them to be champions as late as possible. "The table is always a fair reflection," the Red Devils boss continued. "In the end, what matters is what happens in the reality of the points and City will be champions because they deserve to be champions. "In our case, I think we have eight points more than last season, more goals scored, less goals conceded, but Manchester City made it impossible for the others. "So, what do you want me to say? Congratulations for the great Premier League season they are doing? And the moment they become champions, which will be sooner rather than later? I will react the same way that other people reacted when I won three titles in this country," the manager concluded on the matter. Let's recall that if the Citizens win the Manchester derby, they will be claiming the EPL title having six more games yet to play in the tournament.
