Jose Mourinho insisted after beating Everton that he "didn't think a single second about Manchester City" because he was more worried about making the most of Manchester United's other title rivals dropping points.
United ran out 4-0 winners over Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday, with Antonio Valencia, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial getting the goals – the last three scored in the final seven minutes.
"Today I didn't think one single second about Manchester City," Mourinho told reporters at his post-match media conference.
"I thought about Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool. They lost, or they didn't win their match.
"And it was a chance for us to get two points like they did last week when we drew against Stoke.
"So, I was just thinking about them and never about City. City won their game and did their job.
"I was thinking about the others and when I saw their results I thought this was an opportunity we could not waste."
