But I am going to tell you something.

Pogba started in midfield alongside Marouane Fellaini for Manchester United’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester City at Old Trafford on Saturday.

“Now, after four games in the Premier League, I would like to tell our fans that, (while) we may be first, (with) the way we have played up until now, it will not be enough to win the title”.

Andre Schubert’s men face a battle to avoid a second successive group-stage elimination, but American midfielder Fabian Johnson believes they can pull off an upset against City.

Although United produced a better display in the second half overall is was an unimpressive outing on home soil and their 89.3 million pound record signing Paul Pogba was anonymous on the day and his hunt to register a goal or an assist in his second stint at the club goes on.

“For me, the next big game is against Feyenoord and the next game he (Rashford) is going to play”, Mourinho said. [Goalkeepers] will make mistakes. “That is the only thing I can say”.

Guardiola has now turned his attention to the Champions League and the visit Monchengladbach.

Guardiola said: “They are a courageous team, (with a) fearless coach – one of the best teams in Europe”.

Schubert now needs to get the better of Guardiola to ensure his team get off to a good start in a hard group that also includes competition favourites Barcelona and Scottish champions Celtic.

“Manchester City this season have a very good chance of winning the title”.

After five seasons of steady progression, they will hope for another long run.

Meanwhile, City boss Pep Guardiola has reiterated his support for new goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, who had an eventful debut in Saturday’s derby win over Manchester United.

City’s impressive start to the season has come without input from their inspirational captain Vincent Kompany because of injury.

What it might mean for him personally is another matter, however, as he still has to convince that he can shake off his recurring fitness problems.
