Mourinho takes a swipe at Chelsea ahead of FA Cup showdown

Mourinho takes a swipe at Chelsea ahead of FA Cup showdown

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has ramped up the tension ahead of his side’s trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. 
 
Having been sacked by the club last season and having already suffered a 4-0 defeat in West London in the Premier League already this season, the Portuguese tactician expressed his surprise at their style of play under Antonio Conte in a BBC interview explaining that; “I’m surprised by the way they play, I thought there were demandings [sic] of a different kind of football, because I think Chelsea are phenomenal – but Chelsea is an amazing defensive team.”
 
Chelsea patron Roman Abramovich made it clear that after Mourinho left West London, he wanted a more attacking style of play but Mourinho claimed that he is not looking to settle any scores on Monday stating that; “I'm not looking for revenge; I'm not looking for anything wrong or bad. If you say something special, one thing is to have Gary Staker in the tunnel before and after the match, a close super friend. So if it's different, it's different in a positive way, not a negative way."
