During the week it looks like you show that you know everything then I come here and you ask me questions. It's a bit strange." The Portuguese tactician, however, was far happier to discuss United's supporters heading into the Spurs clash in Manchester."The supporters were fantastic in both matches [against Leicester City and Brighton]," Mourinho said. "Not for me, for the team, which is the only thing that matters. "In my career I was never selfish and thinking about myself, I was always a club man. That's what I am. I am really happy when the supporters support the team. "Against Leicester, you can say in a normal situation because the team was playing well and was winning. To be supportive of the team against Brighton, where we didn't play well and lost the match, it gives you a fantastic feeling. "I hope that feeling, the players also feel it and the players are ready to give them everything they have."</blockquote>
