Man Utd boss Mourinho: Goodison among my favourite stadiums

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho admits Goodison Park is one of his favourite stadiums.

United's bid to emulate that cup form in the top flight continues this weekend at Goodison Park, a ground that holds fond memories for Mourinho.

"Everton is Everton," he said. "I play against Martinez's Everton, Moyes's Everton and it is always difficult.

"It is always beautiful with a great crowd and a great stadium, which is historical for my country as Eusebio scored four goals in one match there during the World Cup in '66.

"I had so many great matches there. Some of those games I lost, some I won, but always a great match. The way United is playing, combined with the way Everton always try to play, means it should be a very good match."
