During a pre-match interview when asked what one quality would make the difference against United, Mourinho said to be his team, adding if his team plays to their usual potential then they would win.

Mourinho added how do United stop Cristiano Ronaldo is not his problem, adding it`s never a problem because he never wants to stop Ronaldo, and it is United`s problem. The Portuguese said Ronaldo is the best, yes, probably the best ever, adding he saw Maradona a couple of times. Mourinho further added he never saw Pele playing, but Ronaldo is amazing, and this man is the best.
