City released an eight-part series showing their
title-winning journey from last season but the Red Devils boss was not
impressed
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says Manchester
City's recently released documentary shows that you 'cannot buy class'.
The eight-part series follows Pep Guardiola and his City
team on their Premier League title-winning journey during the 2017-18 campaign.
Cameras focus on the intimate moments between City players
and staff while offering a behind-the-scenes footage of life as a professional
athlete.
The documentary series, titled All or Nothing: Manchester
City, was released on Friday and was met with glowing reviews by those looking
to get a glimpse into the reality of being a Premier League footballer.
United manager Mourinho was not impressed with the end
result, however, aiming a scathing attack on the Old Trafford club's cross-city
rivals after suggestions within the show that he is a defensive coach compared
to Guardiola.
"You don't need to be disrespectful to have a fantastic
movie. 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."
City claimed the Premier League crown with a total of 100
points, culminating in a dramatic 1-0 victory at Southampton in which Gabriel
Jesus scored the winner deep into added time.
Guardiola's team were widely regarded as one of the finest
sides to ever play in the English top-flight, 12 months after the Catalan coach
played out his first and only trophyless season as a professional manager.
And while United were City's closest rivals for the title
last time out, Mourinho's men finished some 19 points behind the Etihad outfit.
City should face significantly more pressure this season,
however, with Liverpool adding a number of new faces to the squad that reached
the 17-18 Champions League final.
Jurgen Klopp has acquired Alisson Becker from Roma in a
world-record deal, with Naby Keita, Fabinho, and Xherdan Shaqiri also arriving
at Anfield.
Chelsea will also be looking for a stronger finish than last
season under new manager Maurizio Sarri, while Unai Emery plans his own title
charge with Arsenal in north London after taking over from Arsene Wenger.
