Manchester United supporters in the Football Transfer Tavern are optimistic that their club can win the Champions League next season.

Punters are confident of more success after witnessing their team claim glory last year by lifting the Europa League and EFL Cup.

Having won two trophies in his first season in charge of United, Mourinho will be confident that his players can find momentum from their two cup wins and go a step further by claiming the Champions League trophy in Ukraine in May 2018.

United have won Europe’s elite competition three times in their history but haven’t competed in it since the group stage during the 2015-16 season.

Despite their recent admission from the Champions League, fans in the Tavern are confident they can be victorious on their return this year.

Our landlord has picked out three majors reasons as to why the Red Devils should be more than capable of winning the competition next season…

Europa League glory should give confidence

Playing in the Europa League may not have been the competition of choice for supporters during last season but the experience of winning it will be invaluable in the quest for Champions League glory this year.

The Manchester United players will have experienced the taste of European success and should be even more eager to replicate that again in the Champions League.

Players should be keen to impress yet again against more of Europe’s elite sides.

Pogba will be fully settled in England

Manchester United are far from a one man team but Pogba remains the star player after his record move to the club last summer from Juventus.

The midfielder played 51 times for the Red Devils last season and scored nine goals in total.

Pogba showed glimpses of his class last season but the Transfer Tavern’s landlord is hopeful the French international can impress even more now having already played a full season for United.

Mourinho will have strengthened even more

Mourinho proved last summer that he’s prepared to put his hand in his pocket and spend to land the big players to ensure success at the club.

While it is still early days in this season’s transfer market, fans can be assured that Mourinho will once again be looking to spend to ensure another successful season.

The Portugeuse manager has already signed Victor Lindelof from Benfica and fans will be hopeful he is the first of many new signings.
