#2 Mourinho's tactics in crunch matches

Mourinho will be desperate to get a positive result against the Gunners

Jose "The Special One" Mourinho is known to keep his best for the best. He is a mastermind and has all the tricks up his sleeves to frustrate any time on or off the field. Mourinho has this uncanny habit of playing mind games with the top opponents and often ends up winning the battle. He has a reputation that he prepares his team differently for the crucial matches and delivers when it matters the most.

United will be desperate to get a win against Arsenal after their frustrating 2-2 draw at St. Mary's. However, the Gunners will come at them all guns blazing, high on confidence after their 4-2 victory in the north London derby. Emery has infused a new life in Arsenal since his arrival at the Emirates. We are now seeing a different Arsenal from the Wenger era, who are playing attractive and beautiful football.

Mourinho will know what he is up against and has to prepare accordingly for the battle. United has been sloppy in their defence and they have to work on that if they have to stand any chance against Emery's men. Jose has some great attacking options who could prove to be vital in counter-attacking football that he loves to play.
