Jose Mourinho fears Manchester United will be forced to play their Premier League derby trip to Manchester City in a dramatic end-of-season clash at the Etihad Stadium if they progress to next month's EFL Cup final.
United, who take a 2-0 first-leg EFL Cup semifinal lead to Hull City on Thursday, are currently due to visit their neighbours on Feb. 26 -- the date of the EFL Cup final at Wembley.
With United the only club currently competing in four competitions, progression to the latter stages of the FA Cup and Europa League would dramatically reduce options for a new date for the encounter with Pep Guardiola's team.
