believes rivals City will finish in the top four in the
Premier League.
Thursday's derby finished in a dull 0-0 draw at the
Etihad Stadium as United held on for a point after
Marouane Fellaini's 84th-minute red card.
The draw could be vital for United, who are fifth but
just two points behind third-placed Liverpool and
with a game in hand.
With Chelsea and Tottenham clear at the top,
Liverpool (66 points, 34 games), City (65, 33),
United (64, 33) and Arsenal (60, 32) are fighting for
a top-four finish.
"I think Man City are going to finish top four, I think
the matches they have to play, I see them doing
that," Mourinho said.
"I think it's between us, Arsenal and Liverpool and
we are going to try.
"But the reality is we have a European semi-final
[in the Europa League against Celta Vigo] to play.
"We have lots of problems with players and we go
with what is possible but we are going to fight until
it's mathematically not possible."
United host Swansea City on Sunday before a trip
to Spain for the first leg of their Celta Vigo tie on
Thursday.
