(Reuters) - Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho said his motivation ahead of his side's derby clash with Manchester City on Saturday is solely on ensuring his side take a step closer to finishing second in the Premier League. However, preventing City from breaking that record with six games to spare is not something Mourinho is focusing on, the Portuguese said. "My motivation is to finish second, I still have the motivation of finishing top four, mathematically it is not done," Mourinho said. Mourinho was particularly guarded when asked whether he felt United had beaten City to the signing of Alexis Sanchez in January. I don't know, I have no idea if they were interested (in Sanchez) or not, I've no idea," Mourinho said.
