Jose Mourinho won’t ‘hide’ from Manchester United’s shortcomings this season as they try to stop neighbours Manchester City from clinching the Premier League title in Saturday’s derby at the Etihad.
Victory would give City an unassailable 19-point advantage at the top of the table, and put them on course to beat United’s record winning margin set in 2000.
It has left Mourinho fighting just to finish second behind rival Pep Guardiola, and the United boss did not try to make any excuses as he prepared for the big day.
