England’s elite have spent big in the hope of usurping champions Leicester City and nowhere will the battle be more intense than between Manchester City manager Guardiola and his Manchester United counterpart Mourinho.

Manchester United finished in fifth place in the Premier League table last season and won the FA Cup under Louis van Gaal.

‘He can go forward, he can sit, he can score goals and create goals and he can defend. “He wants a picture of me”, he says with Ibrahimovic walking into shot. He’s been criticized at times for making too many errors in the midfield for trying to do too much, but at the moment, his passion and creativity on the attack around the middle of the pitch might be exactly what United needs to take them back to English football greatness.

“I don’t think about him, I don’t think about injured or suspended players so I forget Paul for a few days”. This ability, the focus, what they need to do, the demands of a player. “He is a great talent, it is great to see him here – but from our perspective we don’t want to be in awe of him, we want to keep him quiet”. I have been in every country, now England, and that is why I find the adventure cool. “Tuesday he will be ready to play”, he said.

“You can not start like a train”.

“So in your analysis you went the wrong way because the one who was upset was Mkhitaryan”.

One man who will make their Premier League bow is Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Rashford has hailed the acquisition of the Sweden ace as well as experienced stars Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick.

“I think it will work very well”.

“We know that not one or two or three more than that have the same ambitions”.

“We have all the respect for the others and maybe we don’t win, maybe we arrive end of season and are happy to finish top four”. I think some managers, they have doubts.

In an interview with Mais Futebol, which has been translated by ESPN, Fonte is quoted as saying: “If the interest is there, it is a reason to be flattered to be associated with a club like Manchester United”.
