Jose Mourinho has vowed not to rub Chelsea’s nose in it if Manchester United can pull off a shock win at Stamford Bridge today.

The Portuguese manager takes United to his old club desperate for a victory that will relieve some pressure after recent troubles in the Premier League.

And even though Mourinho is bound to get a hostile reception from supporters who like to tell him ‘you’re not special anymore’, he said: “For me this is another game.

“Would I celebrate like crazy my team’s goal at Stamford Bridge or my team’s victory at Stamford Bridge?

“I don’t think so, I think I would try to control myself and to respect the stadium and the supporters that were my supporters and stadium for many years.

“I would think which stadium I am in, which public is in the stands but apart from that it is another match for me.
