Jose Mourinho expecting no favours from Marco Silva's in-form Watford as Manchester United aim to keep pace with City at top of Premier League

Daily Mail | November 27, 2017

Manchester United were humbled at Watford last season - and Jose Mourinho is expecting an even tougher test at Vicarage Road this time around.

Late goals from Juan Zuniga and Troy Deeney gave the Hornets a 3-1 victory in September 2016, condemning the Red Devils to their third defeat in a week.

That period remains the lowest ebb of Mourinho's Old Trafford reign and the United boss is aware just how hard it will be to exact revenge on Tuesday evening.
