Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has insisted he does not need to make peace with long-time rival, Arsene Wenger, when he takes his side to Arsenal on Sunday.
The two coaches have endured a frosty relationship, since Mourinho first arrived in England as Chelsea manager in 2004.
On Thursday, Wenger said he was ready to make peace.
“I am open always in life to everything, for peace. I do not make of it a manager’s fight. I want that my team shows up and gives a performance on Sunday and plays well.”
But Mourinho, who has never lost to Wenger in the Premier League, says there would be no need for that.
He doesn’t need to [make peace]. He doesn’t need to because there are no problems,” he told a pre-match press conference on Friday.
“In the last match at Old Trafford we shook hands before, after. I remember that I still met him in the corridor for the press conferences, we shook hands again. He doesn’t need to make peace.
“When there is peace, I don’t have a problem. I am a big boy, I am in football all my life, and I know that a problem on the pitch is not a problem anymore the next day. So for me, no problem at all, and I think he will be very pleased that I am going to change my team to play against Arsenal, so I think he will be very happy with me.”
