Mourinho has respect but no fear

Jose Mourinho has "deep respect" for new Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal — but the Chelsea boss is not concerned about their impending rivalry.

The pair worked together for three years at Barcelona but will go head-to-head this season, with Van Gaal having taken the reins at Old Trafford following a successful World Cup with the Netherlands.

He has also won titles in Spain, the Netherlands and Germany with Barca, Ajax and Bayern Munich and said at his introductory press conference that he is aiming to add England to that list.
