Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has slammed Manchester Citys new documentary All or Nothing after it painted him as a defensive manager.

The new eight-part Amazon Prime series recounts the story of Citys record-breaking 2017/18 title win and viewers are given a fly-on-the-wall perspective of several of Pep Guardiolas team meetings.

In one episode, narrator Ben Kingsley describes Citys 2-1 victory at Old Trafford in December as Guardiola versus Mourinho; possession versus defence; attacking football versus park-the-bus.

And in another, Kevin De Bruyne talks over a lack of chances as a 20-year-old under Mourinho while they were together at Chelsea.

Discussing the documentary, Mourinho told Sky Sports: You can have a fantastic movie while respecting others.

You can be a rich club and buy the best players in the world but you cannot buy class and they showed that clearly, that was really obvious.

Mourinho is predicting a very hard season for United after all of their top-six rivals strengthened during the summer transfer window.

Last season we put ourselves in a difficult position, because to do better we can only finish first, the Portuguese said.

When I read sometimes and watch sometimes it looks like we finished sixth or seventh and everybody did better than us. We finished second.

Liverpool are trying to win the title with their amazing investment. Chelsea have a fantastic squad and Manchester City have a fantastic squad too.

Tottenham made an incredible investment by keeping their players, thats the best investment you can make. They could be spending £200m but if they lose Harry Kane or Christian Eriksen.

The biggest investment [for Spurs] was keeping all their best players. Arsenal will be better even though they lost their first match. I think its going to be a very hard season.
