MANCHESTER (UNITED KINGDOM) - United manager Jose Mourinho and his City adversary Pep Guardiola sought to deflect attention from their sulphurous personal rivalry on the eve of Saturday's mouthwatering Manchester derby. The two men revealed they recently met at a Premier League managers' meeting, with Guardiola saying they spoke amicably. In the build-up to their Champions League semi-final, Mourinho's acerbic comments prompted an angry, foul-mouthed response from the usually placid Guardiola. "So Zlatan didn't have the best period of his career (at Barcelona), but that's fine," Mourinho said. We are not expecting Zlatan tomorrow to score a goal, run to Pep, sliding on his knees.
