Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has said it will be difficult to predict Sunday’s derby against city rivals Manchester City.
United will host leaders City at Old Trafford with the hope of ending their unbeaten run and cutting the gap between them in the Premier League table to five points.
City are currently on 43 points, while United are second on 35 points.
“Football is unpredictable,” Mourinho said in Friday’s press conference.
“As a manager, I can try to define a game plan and work a direction but you don’t know what can happen. There are so many things that are out of my control that can totally transform the direction of the game.”
Mourinho pointed out that both United and City will go into the game in very good forms, while stating he does not need reminding of how important the derby is for both Manchester fans.
“For me, it’s one more big match against one of the best teams in the country. We are a better team than last year – I think City is also better than last season.
