Press Conference was embargoed to after 2pm, Mou was not in the mood to answer a lot and very few questions taken

Mourinho on Liverpool-United rivalry “I have to feel it, to play and then to make my conclusions. I am in England for a long time; I’ve never played this match, but I’ve played against Liverpool and United and understand the dimension of this game. Now I understand the dimension of two historical rivals.”

Mourinho: Why I like Anfield “I always like to play at Anfield. I have won big matches and lost big matches there, so I cannot say I like to go there as I am always successful as this is not true. I like to go there, I like the atmosphere and the characteristics of the matches. It is a big match that can be comparable to Inter v Milan and Real v Barcelona, maybe Porto v Benfica - this I like.”

Mourinho proud of two players

“I like my players to go to the international teams,” Mourinho told MUTV. “I know that other managers don’t like it. I know that other managers they even try to stop them to go. I know there is sometimes also a bit of a fake injury to stop people to go. I’m not like that. I’m always very proud of my players to be selected.

“And especially these two that you refer to. One was a debutant, the other was a call-up to the Spanish team. It’s obviously important for them and it’s good for me and I think also the club feels proud of it.”

Mourinho asked for his opinion on Klopp: "I've not much to say."
