Chelsea have yet another version of events. Ahead of last May’s Premier League match at home to Tottenham Hotspur, the club directors could not help but blurt out that they had “beaten” United to Mourinho as their next manager. Each side will want to put their spin on the story, not least Mourinho, who returns to Old Trafford tomorrow night with Chelsea wanting to apply the pressure on Moyes and the champions. He will go for victory, not least because it would open up a six-point advantage at the head of the Premier League table and would raise the anxiety after Moyes’ first league match in charge at Old Trafford.
