Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has taken a thinly
veiled swipe at his Arsenal counterpart, Arsene Wenger, insisting he will
always put trophies ahead of finishing in the top four.
Mourinho was speaking after their 2-1 defeat at Tottenham
Hotspur, saw their chances of finishing in the top four effectively ended.
The United boss has always stated that his focus was on
winning the Europa League, as a route into the Champions League.
“I don’t know other clubs, I don’t know the way they think,
I don’t know what is important for them. We, Manchester United, for us it’s
more important to win titles than to finish top four.
“So if we can win a third title, or as you like to say, a
second title, if we can do that it would be magnificent for us. Because we
don’t fight, we know it’s a big objective, we know that if we lose the final we
don’t play Champions League, we know that.
“But we fight for titles and probably other clubs finishing
in the top four, probably they would like to be in our position, to try to
fight for a title,” Mourinho said.
