Jose Mourinho's Manchester United can set a new club record tomorrow if they avoid defeat against Newcastle.

Mourinho's side have gone 37 games unbeaten at Old Trafford in all competitions, equalling the record set by Sir Alex Ferguson's side between December 1998 and April 2000.

If United do not lose to Rafa Benitez's side, they will set a new club run of 38 games without defeat, although Mourinho said he had no interest in creating a new record.

"We don't play for records and, if we concede a goal but we score at least two, I'm happy," said Mourinho.

"We defend as a team, we try to defend as a team and our numbers show exactly that collective effort, but the objective is to win matches at home, the objective is not to not concede goals.

"Of course, if you don't concede, you're closer to winning matches, but that's not an obsession for us.

"The record means absolutely nothing for us.

"We lost the last match we need points, I know the way Newcastle plays and the way Benitez prepares his teams, so we need to get back the points we need."
