Manchester United entertain Arsenal on Saturday afternoon in a Premier League fixture which pits bitter rivals Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger against each other renewing hostilities once again and the Portuguese stoked up their meeting with some digs at the Gunners boss.
The pair of trophy-laden managers reached a boiling point in 2014 after Wenger shoved Mourinho on the touchline, and they meet again on Saturday.
Needless to say, all eyes and ears where fixated on Mourinho's pre-match press conference, saying the following;

"I think Mr. Wenger has respect from the other people. I don't think I have. My last Premier League title was 18 months ago, not 18 years ago."
The United gaffer is seeking to add another domestic league title to his collection; "I am in the club where I want to be. I was champion in four different clubs; Porto, Real Madrid, Inter and Chelsea. I want to be champion in every club I work, which is quite a nice record if I can do that, so I want to do that at Manchester United."
"Tomorrow is the match between the two managers with the best record in the Premier League. I have 3 titles, I think Mr Wenger has three or four." At least he addressed him as Mr Wenger.

But when asked about the proposition of facing Wenger; "That is not important really as I don't play against managers. It is my team that plays against the opposition and you have some records that are better than others."
What a game to kick-off the Premier League fixtures for this weekend.
