MU fans are eager to see more goals from the man and the one against Galatasaray is just the beginning of many more to come. As Cantona turned his collar up, the Swede does things his way and has already swapped one Manchester hotel for another because it lacked a swimming pool.
United beat their Turkish opponents 5-2, with further strikes from Wayne Rooney (2), Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata.
“The squad is very competitive, the squad is very important for the season”. United have lacked leadership on the pitch recently, also that drive to get forward and find goals through any measure, which was seemingly restricted by former manager Louis van Gaal.
“People were making that mistake very quickly [that Blind would leave]”, he said. I wanted to play for someone who works very hard.
“I signed a new contract and that shows how much I want to stay here”.
“They are playing really well, their training has been top and I think that we have signed really good players”. It was fantastic. We had great support and this is my country.
“I think the players feel this is more like the old Manchester United”.
Mourinho has been snubbed by a former player he managed at Chelsea.
He said: ‘We lost a week in China. “Everything is step by step and the reality is we don’t have this time”.
