“If I have to say now which are the two biggest candidates to win the Europa League, I think it’s easy,” Jose declared. “Manchester United and Tottenham.
“The Premier League is a different level of quality, intensity, pace, tactical culture – a different level of everything. Tomorrow, I think we are going to play against one of the two strongest teams.
“I think they will come with maximum strength,” he said of United. “I don’t think they are going to rotate players before next weekend’s match [at West Ham United]. They come full strength… that’s what I’d do.”
Mourinho managed at United between 2016 and 2018, delivering success in both the League Cup and Europa League.
