Mourinho's United team were beaten 3-2 at Brighton last weekend

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho said he has "no problems" with chief executive Ed Woodward, in a pre-match news conference that was missed by most of the media because the Portuguese arrived half an hour early.

Mourinho spoke for around eight minutes - much shorter than is normal - and said he had not read reports suggesting a falling out between the two.

"I don't know 10% of what is written," Mourinho said.

"I'm not the right guy to answer."

When reminded that he had in the past always spoken about Woodward with respect, and asked if their relationship was still fine, he added: "Of course. No problems."

He was also asked whether reports of conflict were part of an "overreaction" to United's 3-2 defeat by Brighton in the Premier League last weekend, to which Mourinho replied: "You are pessimistic, I am not."
