PHOTO:Jose Mourinho not sure of Manchester United’s target for the new season, as he feels is very difficult to predict; but says the finishing in the top four for the Champions league, is minimum for them this season
Jose Mourinho who kicked
off his coaching job as a United coach with a win at the Community Shield on Sunday,
feels the minimum requirement for the club this season, is the champions
league.
But didn’t say if the Premier league is the ultimate for them this
season…
Manchester United missed
out on a place among Europe’s elite in May thanks to an inferior goal
difference to Manchester City and Mourinho has insisted his priority is to
steer the club back to where it belongs.
‘Manchester United has
to be in the Champions League,’ said Mourinho who was speaking exclusively to
BT Sport.
‘I think that the Champions League is empty
when United is not there.
‘Imagine the Champions
League without United, Real Madrid, Barcelona. There are a certain numbers of
clubs that make it not a Champions League without these clubs.
‘That’s Manchester
United and their natural habitat. I wouldn’t be happy with just finishing in
the top four.
‘I would be happy with that but plus a greater
evolution in the team in terms of our evolved football.
‘Opening the door for in
the next couple of years back to winning titles.
‘I don’t like to go to
the players and tell them ‘let’s try to finish in the top four’ – let’s try to
win every game. We don’t and we know that, especially in this country, at this
moment it is impossible for anyone
‘But to have that as a
starting point, let’s go to every game and try to win every game.
‘But I think a big club
like we are, we need to have this mentality.
