Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has aimed a thinly-veiled dig at Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger ahead of this weekend's clash between the two sides.
Mourinho and Wenger have had a tempestuous relationship down the years, with the United boss once calling Wenger a "specialist in failure".
The Portuguese attempted to play down the significance of meeting his old rival on the touchline again this weekend, but also called into question the Frenchman's record in recent years.
"It is not important. I don't play against managers. It is my team against another team, some records are better than others. Tomorrow is an isolated event. My record against any other manager is not important," he told reporters.
"What you get, you do it as a team. In the Premier League - just Premier League - tomorrow is a match between two managers with the best record. Six or seven titles.
"Should we be respected even in periods when our results are not that best? I think Mr Wenger gets that. I don't think I do even though my last Premier League title was 18 months ago, not 18 years ago. No respect."
Wenger has won just one of his 15 meetings with Mourinho, with that coming in the Community Shield.
