I care Mour about United than any supporter

VALENCIA v MANCHESTER UTD

-

JOSE MOURINHO insists no fan cares more about Manchester United than he does.

Mourinho’s agent Jorge Mendes issued a statement insisting United are happy with his client despite their poor form this season.

Ahead of tonight’s clash with Valencia – where the Reds still have an outside chance of winning the group – Mourinho said: “Sometimes there is a perception that the fans care more about the club than the profession­als.

“That is totally wrong. Nobody connected with Manchester United cares more about the club than myself.”

Meanwhile, Mourinho has challenged Paul Pogba to prove he can be trusted tonight.

Pogba will start in Spain but is set to return to the bench for Sunday’s visit to Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Mourinho said: “I’m looking for Paul to play well and have a good impact on the team, a team with some players who are not playing a lot.

“I hope people like Paul and a couple of others who are not normally in the team can have a good impact.

“You’d expect Juventus to win their game so I don’t think this match will have much impact on finishing first or second.” understand­able against a side without a win in four.

It looks a gulf in quality here and even without some stars I like City -2 at 6-5 with 888sport.

United haven’t been a side punters trust but looked better in their 4-1 win over Fulham.

They’ll head to Valencia full of confidence and are tempting at 19-10 with bet365. Less risky is United draw no bet at 11-10 with 888sport.

Back Juventus to deny United first place by beating Young Boys at 4-9 with McBookie.

TOP TREBLE Juventus, Man U draw no bet, Lyon v Shakhtar btts

(33-10, 888sport)
