HAS Jose Mourinho decided to bulk up ahead of the Manchester derby?
The United manager was spotted carrying tubs of protein into the team’s base at The Lowry hotel in Manchester.
Perhaps he is ensuring he is the ‘big dog’ on the touchline when he locks horns with old foe and Manchester City chief Pep Guardiola.
United fans will be hoping whatever happens, their team have the strength of desire to get bragging rights – and not let City win the title on that day.
If the table-toppers manager to bag the three points from their home clash, they will be the Premier League champions with six games still to go.
It would mean the Citizens would be on 87 points and United could only reach 86.
City would also surpass the maximum points totals possible for both Liverpool (84) and Spurs (85).
But if they draw or lose, the issue starts to get complicated.
A point apiece would see City on 85 points and United on 69.

That would be enough to put Liverpool out of it and also mean that a City win at Spurs the following week would clinch the championship.
Anything less than a win at Spurs, coupled with a United victory over West Brom the following day, would mean the Blues still need either two or three points to secure the title.
