Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho
was handed a speedy reunion with Manchester
City counterpart Pep Guardiola in
Wednesday’s English League Cup fourth-round
draw.
Guardiola’s City won 2-1 when he reprised his
rivalry with Mourinho earlier this month and
they will meet again at Old Trafford in late
October when a place in the League Cup
quarter-finals will be at stake.
“I think it’s good for us,” United midfielder
Ander Herrera, a scorer in their 3-1 win at
third-tier Northampton Town, told MUTV.
“We can show again what we want to do. We
were very disappointed (to lose to City)
because it was in front of our fans and now
we have another chance to play against them.
“I’m sure it will be different.”
Holders and Premier League leaders City
booked their place in the last 16 with a 2-1
win at Swansea City.
Gaurdiola-vs-Mourinho
Mourinho and Guardiola fought an intense
rivalry during their time as managers of Real
Madrid and Barcelona respectively between
2010 and 2012.
They had gone three years without playing
each other prior to City’s derby win on
September 10.
In the round’s other stand-out ties, Tottenham
Hotspur were handed a trip to Jurgen Klopp’s
Liverpool, while Chelsea were drawn to face
London rivals West Ham United.
Sunderland will visit Southampton in the
remaining all-Premier League tie.
