are no problems between him and Arsene Wenger
anymore and claimed the Frenchman will be "really
happy" with him for fielding a weakened team at
Arsenal on Sunday.
One of the Premier League's longest-running
feuds, stretching back to Mourinho's time at
Chelsea, has thawed in recent months with Wenger
telling a news conference on Thursday he was
"open to peace" between the two.
Mourinho, who has labelled Wenger "a voyeur" and
a "specialist in failure" in the past, was equally
happy to let bygones be bygones when asked about
their relationship ahead of United's trip to the
Emirates at the weekend.
He told reporters: ""He doesn't need to [make
peace] because there are no problems.
"At the last match at Old Trafford we shook hands
before and after. I remember that I met him in the
corner of the room for the press conferences and
we shook hands again.
"When there is peace I don't have any problems. I
am a big boy, I've been in football all my life. I
know that [when there are] problems on the pitch,
the next day is not a problem anymore. So for me,
no problem at all."
Mourinho is set to make a raft of changes to his
starting XI for the game as he prioritises success
in the Europa League, a tournament that also
grants a place in next season's Champions League
for the winners.
He added of Wenger: "I think he will be very
pleased with me that I am going to be changing my
team to play against Arsenal, he will be really
happy with me."
