While City are struggling for form right now and are clearly beatable, United come up against a Tottenham side rejuvenated since Mourinho’s appointment.
Spurs have won all three of their matches since Jose replaced Mauricio Pochettino in the White Hart Lane dugout and he will want revenge over his former employers, but Solksjaer doubts his players will be more motivated to beat their ex-boss.
“I don’t think whoever the manager of opposition team is will change motivation,” said Solskjaer. “They are motivated to do well for Manchester United.
