– Mourinho humorously stated that he hopes to win the Premier League with Manchester United if Manchester City is docked points due to Financial Fair Play violations. City faces 115 charges and could potentially lose titles or points.
– Mourinho led United to a second-place finish in the Premier League during the 2017-18 season, finishing 19 points behind City.
– He expressed optimism about United’s future success despite their current struggles, as they sit 12th in the league with only three wins from eight games and are winless in the Europa League.
– Mourinho empathized with United fans due to their recent poor European performance and believes the team is better than their results indicate.
– He identified Manchester United and Tottenham as the top candidates to win the Europa League, highlighting the difference in quality and intensity of the Premier League.
– Mourinho acknowledged the support for current United coach Erik ten Hag, who has led the team to two trophies since taking over in April 2022.
– He emphasized the importance of stability and support for Ten Hag, contrasting his own experience at United where he was sacked while struggling in the league.

Mourinho’s remarks reflect a blend of competitive spirit and goodwill towards his former club ahead of their upcoming clash.
