Jose Mourinho

thinks Manchester United will play better than last season
Jose Mourinho expects this to be a "very difficult season" despite Manchester United becoming a better, more attractive side.
The

Red Devils

crammed a lot into the start of the 2018-19 campaign, with an opening-day victory against Leicester overshadowed by back-to-back defeats to Brighton and Tottenham.
The 3-0 loss to Spurs at Old Trafford represented the heaviest home defeat of Mourinho's career - a setback that ratcheted up scrutiny and pressure, but one they responded to with a run of three successive away wins in all competitions.
That form has lifted United ahead of Saturday's clash against Wolves , yet growing optimism is underpinned by the manager's sustained belief - first uttered in pre-season as transfer frustration grew - that this will be a tough campaign.
Mourinho says Manchester United are improving as a team and refused to put an upturn in results down to individuals
"I am optimistic, but a difficult season, yes," said Mourinho. "For sure a difficult season.
"I don't change that because we won two matches in the Premier League. A difficult season for sure.
"You see the level of the teams - you see the Liverpool squad, City squad, Chelsea squad, Tottenham squad, Arsenal improving. It's going to be difficult.
"I am not saying that we are going to have more points than last season because last season we collected a very acceptable number of points.
