Jose Mourinho’s strategy at Man Utd is coming into place, tall, big powerful athletes with pace and power in abundance. The signings he has made since taking over the helm at Old Trafford, and the way the team are playing, are making fans really believe that the Red Devils can challenge for the title this season. Here are 5 key points as to why United are stronger this season compared to last;
Goals, Goals & Goals – United now have 9 different scorers so far this season, which has set them alight, along with City at the top of the table
Overcoming Last Season’s Shadows – The key difference in terms of points is the wins over Southampton, Everton & West Ham which has led to an extra 6 points compared to last season
Pace – The front four of United have blistering pace now compared to last season. This time last year, Zlatan and Rooney were leading the line, with respect to both players they are not the quickest players on earth. This season Mourinho has Lukaku, Mkyitaryan, Rashford & Martial running at opposition defences
Perfect Role for Fellaini – The afro Belgian has found his niche in this United side. Sitting alongside the experienced Matic who allows other players like Fellaini perform to their best of ability
Magnificent Matic – The incredible signing of the Serbian from Chelsea has revolutionised this United side, breaking up play, picking the 2nd ball and adding steal to a United midfield which has lacked some for many years now.
