Man Utd boss Mourinho warns ref Taylor: Watch Aguero's 'little things'

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has turned up the heat on ref Anthony Taylor ahead of today's trip to Manchester City.

Mourinho has called on match officials to watch the antics of City striker Sergio Aguero.

Over 18 months have passed since the United chief's first taste of an Etihad derby saw Aguero at the centre of a red card row for Marouane Fellaini.

The giant Belgian got two yellow cards in the space of 20 seconds — the latter when City's South American collapsed in apparent agony after an apparent headbutt.

Mourinho claimed he saw Aguero in the tunnel with “no broken nose, no broken head, his face is nice as always... it was a bit red card and a bit experienced, smart Argentinian player".

And ahead of today's game, Mourinho stated: “I admire him because of his fantastic qualities but there are little things in his game that I am not a big fan."

The United manager smiled: “I keep for me."
