One Way Jose

It should never be a 9/1 shot (Betfair) that there will be ‘no goalscorer’ when Jose Mourinho takes his team away to one of the big boys.

If anyone has any doubts about that then you only have to cast your memory back as far as Monday night when the Portuguese successfully stifled a seemingly prolific Liverpool.

Mourinho takes the pragmatic view that Man Utd can afford to take draws in their toughest fixtures because he backs his team to win 4-5 in a row at times when things get easier later.

That very much remains to be seen but for now we can see the value loud and clear in backing Jose to frustrate his old employers at Stamford Bridge.
