Jose Mourinho is willing to give the likes of Juan Mata and Daley Blind a chance to secure a Manchester United future at the club during pre-season, according to reports from the Daily Mail.

Youngster Kurt Zouma made his Premier League debut against Manchester United in October 2014 but was forced to wait until January for a full 90-minute appearance.

‘When you get a new manager, pre-season is always a little bit different because it’s a new personality and new ways.

“His teams are always hard to beat, tactically disciplined and, most importantly, successful”.

‘One of the biggest assets will be his experience.

Mourinho used his personal Instagram account to share the photo above from a recent training session and wrote: “After 10 training sessions, I can say I love to work with these guys”.

But he is already anticipating the stroll from the tunnel at the corner of the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand and the Stretford End to his seat on the United bench at the halfway line.

And the former Chelsea and Real Madrid manager is intrigued to feel the atmosphere from the United supports as he walks to and from the dugout every match. There is no chance we will be happy if we are not together and I think the passion for this club is really wonderful.

“The goal was really special, but for me just being with the team and seeing all our fans was great”, he added. ‘We came in last Wednesday and have done over a week with him now – it’s been enjoyable.

“The passion the fans have is for the club and I feel I am a club man. I am waiting for that”.
