Manchester United may have their campaign back on track but Jose Mourinho feels it’s going to be a very tough season for them.
It was supposed to be a comfortable start for the Red Devils but they already have suffered a few hiccups early in the season. Despite making a winning start back to back defeats to Brighton & Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur had shattered their hopes of making something big this term.
But three consecutive away wins in all competitions have got them back to the competition and the Red Devils are expected to pose a significant threat through the remainder of the season.
Mourinho said, “I am optimistic, but a difficult season, yes.
“For sure a difficult season.
“I don’t change that because we won two matches in the Premier League. A difficult season for sure.
“You see the level of the teams – you see the Liverpool squad, City squad, Chelsea squad, Tottenham squad, Arsenal improving. It’s going to be difficult.
“I am not saying that we are going to have more points than last season because last season we collected a very acceptable number of points.
“But I think we are going to be a better team. We are going to play better than we did, so that’s what we can do.
“But I think it’s going to be a very difficult season, not just for us, also for the others because the others they can say exactly the same as I am saying.
“And they can say, ‘Oh, Manchester United, good team, good squad, City good squad, good team’. All of them, they can say the same thing.
“So, I think if they think the season is going to be easy for them, I think they are wrong, but I don’t think they are wrong because they all know the season is going to be difficult.”
