After the rich transfer market they have done the last 2 years, Mou should have a team capable of competing in all campaigns, but until now it doesn’t seem that anything has gone according to plans. One of the positive things that may be mentioned is their progress. Last year the finished with 69 points, have secured 18 wins and scored 54 goals. Until now they have 62 points, 19 goals and 56 goals.

For a club like Manchester United, this is not much, but it may be seen as a step forward. Still in the remaining nine weeks Mourinho has to ensure the Champions League.

This weekend they will face the rivals of Liverpool. They are separated by just 2 points in the standings, so a win in hear would mean much since it would rise their chances of reaching their goals for the remaining of the season.
