Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho does not approach big games negatively, insists Eidur Gudjohnsen ahead of Chelsea clash

Eider Gujohnsen has rejected claims Jose Mourinho sets his teams up negatively for encounters against direct rivals.

Mourinho's Manchester United play his former club Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and the Portuguese's approach to big games has been under scrutiny after an uninspiring 0-0 draw at Liverpool last month.

The United boss appeared to hit out at critics by making a shushing gesture to camera at full time in the 1-0 win over Tottenham last Saturday before following it with a chatting sign with his hand during Tuesday's 2-0 win over Benfica.
