Manchester United Manager, Jose Mourinho has dismissed what he described as Pep Guardiola's mind game as both managers intensify preparations ahead of this weekend's Manchester derby. Guardiola had claimed that David Silva could miss City's trip to Old Trafford. He stated this while explaining the reason why he left the playmaker out of the Champions Leagues squad that travelled to Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday.
Mourinho told reporters after defeating CSKA Moscow that he was not interested in mind games.
"Do you want the truth or what do you want? You want the truth. The truth is Eric Bailly, no chance for the weekend. Phil Jones a chance. (Marouane) Fellaini a chance, Zlatan (Ibrahimovic) a big chance and (Nemanja) Matic is injured but will play for sure.
I'm telling the truth. He's injured but he will play for sure. (Michael) Carrick no chance. It's the truth, eh? No stories of (Alexandre) Lacazette, David Silva. All the truth."
Mourinho's comment is coming after Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger ruled out Lacazette in last week's encounter against Manchester City only for him to play all 90 minutes on Sunday.
