Mourinho calm on Stamford Bridge return as Man Utd draw Chelsea in FA Cup

Published on: 20 February 2017

Jose Mourinho was not placing too much emphasis on Manchester United's FA Cup quarter-finals draw.

The Red Devils have been paired with Chelsea in the final eight of the famous cup competition which will take place at Stamford Bridge on the weekend of March 11.

Regarding the mouth-watering prospect of returning to his former club for such a vital cup fixture, Mourinho insists he is not concerning himself too much.

"I have no reaction because I have to play Saint-Etienne, the EFL Cup final and hopefully another opponent in the Europa League," he told reporters.

"I have to fight for a top-four position in the Premier League so I have so many things to think about. Probably Chelsea can only think about the FA Cup because I think they are champions and they have nothing else to play for, so the FA Cup is something important for them.

"The match is in one month's time and I don't want to speak about it now."

United beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 on Sunday to advance to the quarter-finals.
