Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has said that the Red Devils don’t stand the chance of competing for the Premier League title despite the fact that they secured a comfortable 4-0 triumph over Chelsea on the opening day. The Red Devils were initially on the back foot during the league opener but they managed to find the net out of where following a penalty conceded by Kurt Zouma.
Thereafter, the game remained lively with the Blues once more keeping up the pressure on the United end but they eventually succumbed to a disappointing loss after conceding three goals on the counter-attack after the hour mark. Speaking after the game, Mourinho said that United will have a good season when compared to the previous where they finished sixth on the standings.

In a report covered by The Mirror, Klebersonappreciated that the Frenchman remains a great player, though he does not seem to suit the Red Devils.He said: “It is the right move to sell Paul Pogba, he’s a great player and his talent is unbelievable, but his style is a little bit different, and not particularly what Man United need. He could use this opportunity now to leave and get a fresh start, play in a different atmosphere, and embrace a new challenge. Sometimes it’s hard to come to Manchester United and adapt to play a particular style. It doesn’t mean he’s not a good player with great quality.”
Among those, United have been deemed favourites to seal a transfer agreement for around £50m and Shipperley believes the Eagles should sanction the move, he said: “I think it’s good business for a right-back that has made 42 appearances. It’s a great deal for the club. This is football at the moment. There’s not a bidding war for him. Manchester United are the club. No-one else is coming in for him so you’re not going to have this bidding war. I think £50m or £55m is a fair deal.”
Speaking to Stadium Astro, McMahon said that Pogba has downed tools for United on multiple occasions during his time at the club and he has been one of the players to blame for the club’s fall from grace. He added that Sir Alex Ferguson was clever to get rid of Pogba during his time at the helm and the club are presently far away from challenging for the Premier League and making the top four.
Robben joined Bayern from Spanish and European giants Real Madrid in the summer of 2019 for €25 million, and the Dutch winger was an instant success. The former Chelsea star’s dribbling skills, running at defenders and taking accurate shots on goals endeared him to the Allianz Arena faithful.
Speaking in a news conference, Ole said that he is impressed with most of the players in the current setup, though a few require a reality check ahead of a crucial run of fixtures, he quipped: “Most of the players have really impressed me with their attitude. But of course there are some that need to get a reality check on where they’re at.
Speaking to BeIN Sports, Riise acknowledged that the title race could go down to the wire and United could have a major say on the Reds’ prospects of securing a maiden Premier League crown, he said: “Well I hope we get some help from the neighbours of City, Man U. They’ve got to meet them away from home. Man United have got to win as well to get to the top four. So I look at that game, it could be crucial for City. But they’re looking so strong. Yes [Liverpool can win six out of six], yes [Liverpool will win six out of six]. They will win, but there are some tough games, they haven’t played at their best lately.”
