Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has claimed that the club's focus is solely on Arsenal as the two sides rekindle their long-term rivalry in the Premier League this weekend.
Mourinho's United go into Saturday's clash already eight points behind leaders Manchester City, but the Portuguese coach has insisted that his side will be concentrating on the game itself as opposed to any permutations from the outcome at the Emirates.
"I tell my players just to think about the game. It doesn't matter what happened before or what happens afterwards," Mourinho told reporters during his pre-match press conference.
"We don't think about how many points ahead of them we are or how many points ahead the leaders are. It will be tough enough against Arsenal so we will focus totally on this game."
United have claimed 10 wins from a possible 14 league games under Mourinho's stewardship this term.
