But there are some who are still angry at the way Mourinho’s side fell apart at the seams last season as Chelsea’s title defence fell flat on its face.

The Portuguese was eventually axed in December, and the Blues have now taken a new direction under ex-Juventus boss Antonio Conte.

But Mourinho is adamant he won’t be affected by the reception at Stamford Bridge – good or bad – as he looks to get one over his former side.

The tactician said: “To say I care is not true. To be honest, when I go to a match, I’m not focused on that. I’m more focused on the game. I try to prepare myself for the match, so I cannot say that I care.

“What can I expect? I don’t know. They can think about me and remember our great relation and have a good reaction. Or they can look at me and say, ‘For 90 minutes he is Manchester United manager and he’s playing against us, so he’s not someone we like at this moment.

“They gave me their love and gave me their support. If, now, I go there as United manager and they decide to have a different approach, I will always respect them.

“It doesn’t matter what’s going to happen. But it’s my job. It’s my new club and on Sunday I will go there to try and do my job.”
