MU shakes head at master... "petty person" Mourinho
Mourinho may have made "mistakes" at MU in his second season, but the Red Devils' leaders respect the Portuguese coach's "mastery of psychological warfare" that Pep Guardiola, Conte or Klopp are far inferior to, easily falling into traps.

| Mourinho is a master of psychological warfare that makes Conte angry and call him a "villain". Even MU leaders are afraid. |
Most recently, Conte went crazy and called Mourinho a "petty person" after being sarcastically called a "clown" by the MU captain.
According to Express, the reason Mourinho targeted Conte of his old team Chelsea was because they were competing for second place, so he deliberately teased to attract attention.
Like the great Sir Alex at Old Trafford, Mourinho is a master at attracting attention, creating seemingly serious problems (like referees, match schedules, legends' statements...) but in reality only with one purpose: to distract from MU's unsuccessful performance.
Often under pressure in the "hot seat", Mourinho also used all kinds of tricks, from praising PSG, saying MU is not the last club to lead, transfer difficulties,... making MU leaders have headaches.
Therefore, Pep Guardiola once concluded when he was competing with Mourinho in La Liga: Mourinho may not always win on the field but he is the "champion" of press conferences.
Neymar angry because Coutinho signed with Barca
Neymar was the one who recommended to Barca's leadership to buy Philippe Coutinho when he was still playing at Nou Camp, expressing his desire to play with his Brazilian teammates.

| Neymar is said to be angry because Coutinho signed with Barca, instead of going to PSG to play football with him. |
However, after "defecting" to PSG, the 25-year-old striker advised Coutinho not to go to Barca but to come to Paris with him. But in the end, Coutinho still chose Barca and the blockbuster "exploded" for 142 million pounds.
The former Liverpool midfielder also confided that his dream came true when he played for Barca and this was the only club he wanted to go to.
And Don Balon reported that Neymar was so angry with Coutinho's choice that, despite being close friends, he didn't even bother to call to congratulate him. Instead, the relationship between the two became worse.
The above source is afraid that because of this rift, the Brazilian team will suffer "damage" at the 2018 World Cup, because both Neymar and Coutinho are pillars, carrying on their shoulders the dream for the yellow-green team.
Pep Guardiola admits Man City is still far from being equal to MU
The Spanish coach admitted that Man City cannot compare with their neighbors MU in terms of history and that trying to win titles is the only way for the Etihad team to improve their position.

| Man City made MU "feel regret" but Pep admitted that it will be a long time before his team can compare with their neighbors in terms of achievements. |
Man City are dominating the Premier League this season, leaving Mourinho's MU (15 points behind) as well as reigning champions Chelsea and other teams... scrambling to catch up. However, Pep Guardiola is well aware that they have not achieved anything this season, so only when they get their hands on the trophy will it be considered a real result.
"No one can take away what we have shown, the joy we have had in the last 3-4 months. The team has had great moments and I told the players, "enjoy". It was not easy and it may not happen again.
But after everything we have done so far, and in the future, the ultimate goal is to win the championship.
To become big clubs like the teams that Man City have faced, or like MU or Liverpool, with a long history, we need to win a lot of titles.".
