Mourinho, though, struck the opposite note.

We feel that we are candidates to win the title. “We know that others have the same ambitions as us”. We could also speak the same way. “We are going to fight for the title”. There is an air of expectation around Old Trafford this season unlike anytime else as United supporters look to Mourinho to put and end to the Premier League drought.
The Swede, who scored the winning goal against Leicester City to help his new side lift the Community Shield on Sunday, won the Ligue 1 title in all four of his seasons at previous club Paris Saint-Germain. You pick up bits from each of their games and put them into your own.
Guardiola is unsure how well his team will play against Sunderland but says he will enjoy himself if his players show some character.
“I don’t believe that I’m arrogant in the way people think”, he added. I think Manchester United has to say we want to win the title. And maybe we don’t win.
“I don’t speak about him [Pogba]”. That’s the way. That we promise. There is nothing positive about not being involved in European football apart from having more time to train. You can promise what you want and you’ll do everything to achieve your goals.
The French worldwide completed his world record move to Old Trafford on Tuesday and fans were desperate to see him pull on the United shirt once again against Bournemouth this weekend.
The France global became the world’s most expensive player when completing his move to the Red Devils earlier this week, signing a five-year contract at Old Trafford.
“He fits in my plans which is why he is on loan”.
“I don’t speak about him; he is suspended and I don’t speak about suspended or injured players”. I have been in every country, now England, and this is why I find the adventure cool. Paul Pogba has been suspended for the Red Devils’ Premier League opener, pushing his debut back a week.
“I knew the situation with the yellow cards, but I didn’t know if an accumulation of yellow cards would bring a player to suspension”. After firing Louis Van Gaal, the team hired Jose Mourinho, who believes that Manchester United can become a strong team once again.

Pogba’s ban means Mourinho will have to wait until next Friday’s game at home to Southampton for an opportunity to pick the player as part of his match day squad.
