The FC crew are tempering their expectations following Man United's uninspiring performance in their UCL first leg against Sevilla. The ESPN FC panel question if Jose Mourinho's tactics will result in Alexis Sanchez not fulfilling his potential at Manchester United.
MANCHESTER, England -- Jose Mourinho has refused to be drawn on his spat with Antonio Conte ahead of Chelsea's visit to Manchester United on Sunday saying only that the Italian is "a very good manager."
Mourinho and Conte have been involved in a war of words during which the United boss highlighted his counterpart's implication in a matchfixing scandal.
But ahead of the pair meeting at Old Trafford this weekend, the Portuguese coach was keen to play it down.
