Arsene Wenger downplayed his rivalry with Jose Mourinho ahead of Arsenal's match on Saturday against Manchester United.

Wenger and Mourinho have repeatedly been critical of one another over the years.

Wenger said he plans on shaking Mourinho's hand before and after the match.

“Look, I don’t think I have to describe our relationship. He will fight for his team and I will fight for my team and I think that’s completely normal,” said Wenger. “Of course. I respect the ritual that is so important in the Premier League.”
