Jose Mourinho says his time at Manchester United is "a closed chapter" and he is only interested in beating them when he takes his in-form Tottenham side to Old Trafford on Wednesday.
It is the new Tottenham manager's first return to the touchline at United's home ground since his sacking by the club last December.
"This is a closed chapter for me," said Mourinho, who has won all three of his matches in charge of Spurs.
"I left the club, I took my time to process everything that happened, I took my time to prepare myself for the next challenge.
"Honestly, United for me is in my book of experiences, it's in my history book."
"I analyse them as an opponent, how they play. How can we beat them? How can they beat us? For me that is the important thing."
"I understand that what they want is the exact opposite of what I want. Of course during the match I expect them to forget me."
"If I tell you that I didn't speak with Mr (Daniel) Levy about Eriksen, Alderweireld and Vertonghen, I would be lying. So, yes I'm speaking with Mr Levy about it."
