I don’t think that’s Manchester United.

Manchester United also recently signed center-midfielder Paul Pogba. “They have the same manager and same players who came from the Championship together and didn’t change the way they play”.
“We feel we are candidates for the title”, he said.
Manchester United’s £100million signing Paul Pogba will have to wait for his first game back in a red shirt after it was revealed he is suspended for Sunday’s Premier League opener at Bournemouth. Beating Leicester 2-1 in the Community Shield has stoked belief in United further.
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe said his team wanted to keep Ibrahimovic out of the limelight.
JS: “To create something we need time. The last four years we have been fourth, third and second, and we want to make progress again”. He’s suspended and I don’t speak about suspended players or injured players.
Jose Mourinho insisted Friday that Manchester United will be contenders for the Premier League title in his first season in charge at Old Trafford, and criticised some of his rival managers for not being fearless enough to make the same claim. If not we don’t care about where he is going.
“Hopefully Jose Mourinho will be able to bring that kind of X-factor back to Manchester United – and a fear factor as well”. There is a school of thought, however, that a 4-3-3 without Rooney could be a more desirable option in the long run – for Pogba and United.
Pogba is used to success with Juventus and helped the club to four Serie A titles, two Coppa Italia wins and two Italian Super Cup successes in his time at the club.
“The targets were there on the table, after that was the club power and they were very strong, they were very good and they did everything before August 14”.
A party atmosphere is expected at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, with City preparing a special welcome for Guardiola in his first competitive match in charge.
The decisive manner United have concluded their transfer business has been in contrast to the tenures of David Moyes and Louis van Gaal, which saw deals done on deadline day for three consecutive years with the signings of Marouane Fellaini, Radamel Falcao and Anthony Martial.

The star of this team right now, though, is Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
