Mourinho says his side will defend against Liverpool at Anfield
Jose Mourinho has revealed his tactics ahead of the anticipated Liverpool match at Anfield
– The former Chelsea coach has said that he will put all his men behind the ball to avoid conceding a goal
– The Portuguese said that he is desperate to get all three points at the Mersey side Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho has insisted that his team will be going for all three points against Liverpool at Anfield.
The Red Devils are hoping to bounce back from a disappointing 1 – 1 with Stoke City at Old Trafford before the international break when they visit the Mersey side.
The former Chelsea coach has been often been accused of deploying negative tactics away at rival teams as he faces the Reds for the first time as United coach.
However, Mourinho has insisted he is determined to get the better of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and has revealed his plans for tonight’s blockbuster showdown.
Mourinho said: “We will try to win, that is for sure. When they have the ball we have to defend and when we have the ball we have to attack.
“We want to stop them scoring and the best way to do this is with 11 men and to score we want to be dominant, have the ball and this is what we are doing.
“It won’t be the same as last season where Liverpool had a lot of shots on target and United had one and the result was 0-1.
“We still have to improve on many things, but we will continue to keep playing as we are playing.
We have a certain style of play and are not going to change that.” United are seventh on the league
table with 13 points three points behind Jurgen Klopp’s side who are sitting in fourth position with 16 points and a win for Mourinho takes them level on points with the Anfield club.
