Burton Albion boss Nigel Clough says there are similarities between his father Brian and Jose Mourinho as he prepares for a crunch trip on Wednesday to face Manchester United in the League Cup.
United are the defending champions after Mourinho equalled Sir Alex Ferguson and Brian Clough’s record by winning a fourth League Cup against Southampton in February.
“I think just the way they go about it and the way that they deal with things in such a no-nonsense manner,” he said.
“It’s black or it’s white and that’s it. If a player does the job for him he has him in and if he doesn’t that’s it. I think they look at things in very similar ways in that department.”
On Tuesday, Leicester City beat Liverpool 2-0 and among 11 ties there were wins for struggling Crystal Palace, West Ham and Tottenham. Stoke City crashed out away to Bristol City.
