I am not respected like Wenger – Mourinho

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has said he is not respected as Arsene Wenger, ahead of Arsenal’s visit on Saturday.

The two managers have clashed many times in the past, with the Portuguese once calling his French counterpart a “specialist in failure”.

Mourinho has never lost a Premier League fixture to Wenger and will be keen to extend that run at Old Trafford this weekend.


“The record against any other manager being good or bad is not important for me,” Mourinho said.

“The only thing that matters is what you get as a team, our team’s results, our CV if you want to go in that direction and in the Premier League tomorrow is a match between the two managers with the best record in the Premier League.

“Sir Alex Ferguson is not here anymore and tomorrow between the two managers we are speaking about I think six or seven Premier League titles, I’m not sure. I have three I think and Mr Wenger has three.

“Does that mean we should be respective even in periods where our results are not the best? I think Mr Wenger has that respect from all of you, I don’t think I have.


“My last Premier League title was 18 months ago not 18 years ago, I don’t get that respect to be honest. I just follow my way because I want to win a ninth championship and I want to win a fourth Premier League.”
