After such a strong start to the campaign, the Manchester United fans in the Transfer Tavern have been absolutely delighted about how things are progressing under Jose Mourinho.
Though the Premier League is still in its early stages indeed, our resident Red Devils are absolutely delighted about the fact they do at least look like challenging for the title.
So, reports from the Sun have gone down amazingly well. They claim the self-proclaimed ‘Special One’ has challenged his side to win the DOUBLE this summer.
Indeed, the Portuguese is believed to see winning the domestic double as well as reaching the last 8 of the Champions League is a realistic target this season, reportedly telling his players in a rousing pre-season address.
“The target he has given the players reflects how positive he feels about this group”, said a club source.
“He has made them believe in what can be achieved and there is a real confidence in this squad they can do it.”
The signings of Nemanja Matic and Ronelu Lukaku have certainly improved the club’s ranks and it seems the former Chelsea and Real Madrid coach is setting the bar rather high this season
Landlord’s Verdict:
There’s no reason United shouldn’t aim high, though it’s important not to get carried away.
They’ve looked very good but are yet to come up against a real threat, so judgement should be reserved until then.
Thoughts?
