(Reuters) - Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is more worried about avoiding injuries on a poor pitch in Beijing than he is about winning their pre-season derby against Manchester City in the International Champions Cup (ICC).

Mourinho criticised the conditions at the Bird's Nest stadium where torrential rain is forecast for next 24 hours.
