Jose Mourinho Says He Won't Obsess About City Rival Pep Guardiola

Lisbon: Jose Mourinho says he won't let his past rivalry with Pep Guardiola get in the way of his new career at Manchester United.

With Guardiola taking charge at Manchester City, the pair will face off in the Premier League next season. They previously were adversaries when Mourinho was at Real Madrid and Guardiola at Barcelona.

Mourinho says in Spain "individual battles make more sense because they can affect the outcome (of the title race). If in the Premier League I were to focus on him and Manchester City and he were to focus on me and Manchester United, someone else would be champion."

Mourinho, who was at Lisbon University to give a lecture, says he won't be taking any player from Portugal to Old Trafford.
