Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says he will not rest players against NK Maribor in the Champions League in anticipation of next weekend's clash against Manchester United.

Mourinho's men host the Slovenians at Stamford Bridge and are aiming to build on their win away at Sporting Lisbon in their last Champions League game.




Victory would move the Blues onto seven points in their group and for Mourinho that is the most important thing at present.

And so he is putting the Manchester United game out of his mind.

 


"I don't have Manchester United in mind", he explained at a press conference.
