Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal says Chelsea rival Jose Mourinho is the better manager. Mou has won titles in Portugal, England, Italy and Spain.
At a football writers' tribute dinner to Mourinho this year, Van Gaal admitted: "He is better than me."
And ahead of today's big battle the United boss said: "Of course I meant that. He has won titles in a shorter time than me and he has won them in more than three countries.
"I am next with championships in three countries and I want to do that again here, then I'll be equal.
"I think he is one of the top trainer-coaches and managers in the world.
"All his teams are always well-organised. I like that and it is why he is a very good manager."
