“I will not be somewhere only because I am Ibrahimovic”. Manchester United, on the other hand. disappointed and could only finish in fifth place resulting in the sacking of manager Louis Van Gaal.

The former Sweden captain, who scored United’s Community Shield victor against Leicester last weekend, said: “I’m a normal person”. I had an idea about the squad and when I arrived I was ready to be objective. “That’s the big difference”.

“I think I gave a contribution because I was very objective”. I believe in myself. I make mistakes. I will still make mistakes.

But what does the Special One think of the club’s transfer activity?

“I believe it’s an individual strength in a human being. I don’t get paid to act”. I want our fans in the stadium to see that.

“Of course, I was in the country for many years”.

“First of all, I didn’t buy them”. You study all the same details and start to do the same. This season, United will be looking to put that defeat behind them and starting their new season and another new era on a high.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has said that being a winning team does not always mean being an attacking team. That’s what I’m looking for from our team. They prefer to hide or play defensively with the words.

Mourinho was brought to Old Trafford to bring back the glory days and if United don’t win the league, as many fancy them too, you would put your house on them getting Champions League football again at the very least.

“I had it, I won with them, and hopefully I can do it here”. United will be in much better spirits to tackle their rivals this season – aiming to win the Premier League, which is what we all want to hear.

“We feel we are candidates for the title”, he said. Many more think the same way but they are afraid to say it. “That is not our way”.

Mourinho also warned not to expect a free-flowing United side from week one of the league campaign, with the modern demands of pre-season reducing the amount of preparation work a manager can do and making it impossible to start “as a train”.
