"Until now we cannot complain in terms of results and especially the way we have played," said Guardiola, who was the last away manager to win at Old Trafford in September last year. You can control, you can do many things good, but then they have the talent to do that." "As long as we start the game well, like we did at Arsenal, I don't see any reason why we can't win." United manager Mourinho has gradually ramped up the sniping pre-match, scoffing at Guardiola's claim that David Silva was an injury doubt and accusing City's players of diving ("a little bit of wind and they fall"). Paul Pogba is United's major absentee through suspension, which is likely to bring the tigerish Ander Herrera into Mourinho's midfield.
