Guardiola: Man Utd rival Mourinho is my twin


Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola considers himself and Manchester United rival Jose Mourinho to be "twins" in trophy hunting.

Guardiola and Mourinho have endured a fractious relationship in the past, with their time spent on opposite sides of the Barcelona and Real Madrid Clasico divide pitching them into regular combat.

Hostilities have been rekindled in England, but there are more similarities between the pair than many might think.

Guardiola concedes as much, telling reporters when asked whether he has the same obsession with winning silverware as Mourinho: "Definitely. In that we are twins. He wants to win trophies, I want to win trophies.

"Antonio Conte as well and Jurgen [Klopp] and Mauricio [Pochettino].

"We love to compete, we love to win games but believe me it's not a special occasion when we beat Mourinho teams."

City will cross Manchester this weekend looking to cement their standing at the top of the Premier League table.
