Man City Star Yaya Toure Blasts Man Utd Coach Jose Mourinho Ahead Of Manchester Derby

Manchester City Star Yaya Toure Has Hit Out At Man United Boss Jose Mourinho Claiming He Uses Negative Tactics To Win Matches.

The Ivorian made his fourth start of the season against Shakhtar Donetsk in City's first loss of the season in the Champions League.

It looks unlikely for Toure to feature in the Manchester Derby but he already has his own idea on how it will play out.

The 34year old insists Jose Mourinho will defend at home and make good use of Counter Attacks as used against Arsenal last weekend.

The Express Report Toure Said:

“This game can give us a lift for the future,” said Toure.

“This year I think, when you see United, they are going to be worried about us.

“They’re going to be very dangerous on the counter-attack and we have to be ready for that.

“Otherwise we will see the game they played against Arsenal a few days ago — so we have to be careful.

“I think with players like Lukaku, Ibrahimovic and Lingard, who is playing well, Rashford and Martial,they’re very fast.

“We need to have a big performance on Sunday. It’s going to be difficult because the way you saw Shakhtar play against us is the way United will play - counter-attack, counter-attack. Very fast and very strong.

“When I see United playing games against big teams, they always wait for a mistake to hit teams on the counter-attack.”

Jose Mourinho however recently accused Pep Guardiola of playing mind games with him and lying about David Silva's injury and also fitness of players.

The Man Utd boss also blasted the FA for no ban or fine on Pep Guardiola for the Nathan Redmond incident.
