MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho suggested Premier League rival Manchester City was "disrespectful" and lacking "class" in a behind-the-scenes documentary that was released this week. Amazon’s eight-part documentary of City’s title-winning year in the Premier League last season gave a TV crew almost unlimited access to players and managerial staff, offering insight into Pep Guardiola’s locker room. "I think you can have a fantastic movie, respecting others. You don’t need to be disrespectful to have a fantastic movie," Mourinho said. "You can be a rich club and buy all the best players in the world, but you cannot buy class."

Speaking in an interview with British broadcaster Sky Sports, Mourinho didn’t refer to any particular passage of the documentary, entitled "All or Nothing: Manchester City." In one section, midfielder Kevin De Bruyne talked about his struggles when he was at Chelsea under Mourinho. Guardiola does not think the documentary will expose his secrets. "When we accept the cameras to be inside for 24 hours a day, that kind of thing can happen," Guardiola said. "I think there was nothing special. I think the people are going to see how a football team lives behind the scenes. "The players make the tactics," he added. "Not my ideas, it’s the players who make the tactics."<doc-sep>Jose Mourinho has accused Manchester City of a lack of class after the airing of their behind-the-scenes documentary 'All or Nothing'. A film crew followed Pep Guardiola's side as they won the Premier League title with a record points tally in the 2017/18 season. The eight-part series was released on Friday, showing clips from inside the dressing room, the boardroom and on the training ground. The second episode features City's win at Old Trafford in December, with the narration saying: "It is Guardiola versus Mourinho once more; possession versus defence; attacking football versus 'park-the-bus'". The same episode later shows City fans chanting 'park the bus', intercut with clips of Mourinho in his post-match press conference, dismissively responding to questions about possession statistics. Asked about the publicity surrounding the documentary, Mourinho told Sky Sports: "You can have a fantastic movie while respecting others.

You can be a rich club and buy the best players in the world but you cannot buy class and they showed that clearly, that was really obvious." After finishing second last season, United will be looking to topple City this year. But Mourinho is expecting a tough campaign, especially as several top-six rivals have strengthened over the summer. "Last season, we put ourselves in a difficult position, because to do better we can only finish first," said Mourinho. 2:58 Highlights: Man Utd 2-1 Leicester "When I read sometimes and watch sometimes, it looks like we finished sixth or seventh and everybody did better than us. We finished second. "Liverpool are trying to win the title with their amazing investment. Chelsea have a fantastic squad, Manchester City have a fantastic squad too, Tottenham made an incredible investment by keeping their players, that's the best investment you can make. "They could be spending £200m but if they lose Harry Kane or Christian Eriksen... the biggest investment was keeping all their best players. Arsenal will be better even though they lost their first match. "I think it's going to be a very hard season."

Everyone is talking about Manchester City’s new Amazon Prime documentary, All or Nothing, right now. The eight-part behind-the-scenes documentary has given an unprecedented insight into how Premier League champions run their club - from training to post-match celebrations in the changing room. And it’s caused a stir as well with a certain Jose Mourinho. In episode two, the narrator Sir Ben Kingsley has some rather negative things to say about Man City’s rivals Manchester United. Ahead of the first meeting between the two sides in the documentary, Kingsley says: "It is Guardiola versus Mourinho once more; possession versus defence; attacking football versus ‘park-the-bus’." And it seems Mourinho isn’t too happy about it at all. “I think you can have a fantastic movie respecting the others,” Mourinho said. “You don't need to be disrespectful to have a fantastic movie. But you can be a rich club + buy the best players in the world, but you cannot buy class. And they showed that clearly. “Because I am in the Man City documentary, I could ask for some royalties. If they send me one of the shirts they had in the tunnel when we played there, the shirts that were saying: 'We did it on derby day.' If they send me one of these, I give up about the royalties." Woof. And City have responded. According to the Sunday Times, the champions have refused to apologise. The report states: “City have claimed they had no editorial input or control over Amazon’s film-making, apart from sensitive commercial or personal information that they reserved the right to remove. The depth to which Mourinho and United are mocked has clearly angered the manager and soured relations.” The rivalry between Guardiola and Mourinho and City and United has just become even more sour… News Now - Sport News<doc-sep>On Friday afternoon at his giant press conference desk in the City Football Academy, Pep Guardiola was keen to get something off his chest about Manchester City’s Amazon Prime documentary series launched to some fanfare two days previously. The Manchester City manager was eager to make a point about who controlled the final cut of the documentary and the portrayal of certain individuals, although he did not mention by name Jose Mourinho, his long-time rival across town at Manchester United. For the purposes of the television drama in question, and certainly in the first two episodes, Mourinho is cast as the Darth Vader of the piece, a looming rival whose negative style is the antithesis to the light and ambition of the other team in Manchester. Asked a general question about what he wanted fans to take away from the Amazon Prime series “All Or Nothing”, which chronicles City’s record-breaking 2017-2018 Premier League title winning season, Guardiola answered another. “What happened in the documentary is not in our responsibility,” he said. “Not even one. The people from Amazon decided what they wanted to show to the rest of the world, to the Manchester City fans in 200 countries. In the end we are not involved in that.” He went on to say that there was the good and the bad over the course of a season and that while the documentary will one day serve as a “good memory” for those involved he was keen to stress that it was independent, “an honest production”.<doc-sep>
Jose Mourinho has accused Manchester City of not having any class due to some of the content in their All or Nothing documentary. Cameras caught every moment of City's record-breaking season and some of the content clearly angered the Manchester United manager. During the behind-the-scenes documentary, footage portrays Mourinho as a defensive-minded manager with narrator Ben Kingsley referring to Mourinho's 'park-the-bus' tactics. And then there was the footage after the derby win at Old Trafford where Guardiola delivers a speech to his players about 'killing United.' Mourinho did not confirm if he had watched any of the eight-part documentary, however, he was asked for his opinion on the programme by Sky Sports. "I think you can have a fantastic movie while respecting the others," the United manager said. "You don't have to disrespect others to have a fantastic movie, but, you can be a rich club and buy the best players in the world, but you can't buy class. And they showed that clearly, that was really obvious." In the first episode of the documentary Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne speaks about his time at Chelsea and why it didn't work out when Mourinho was in charge. The Belgian said: "I was only 20 years old when I decided to sign for Chelsea, I got my chance in the first team [at Chelsea] in the first few games and I thought ‘Okay, everything is going well, played okay and the won the games. One day it just stopped.” Get all the latest Manchester United news first with our new app. Download it here now
