Jose Mourinho has told his Manchester United players to do the Double this season. He said their aim had to be to win the Premier League and FA Cup and at least reach the last eight of the Champions League. But as Sunsport reveals, Mourinho was so confident of what this squad could do he had raised the bar ahead of the new season.
Jose Mourinho is heading for a clash with the Manchester United board over further backing in the transfer market … he is concerned he may not get the funds he needs to boost his squad in the New Year and next summer. While United stand second in the league, they have fallen eight points behind their noisy neighbours.
So Mourinho thought the squad was good enough to win the double until the point he stopped getting the best out of them? And now he suddenly needs new players? Excellent.
