Mourinho is alert enough
Before taking the lead at Swansea's Liberty Stadium with his players on the evening of August 19, Mourinho calmly answered in an interview after the opening match: "I have enough experience and alertness to keep my feet on the ground. The new season is just getting started."
Yes, Mourinho, with his extensive experience in fighting, understands that the tournament has up to 38 rounds and his team has only gone 1/19 of that distance. Not showing an overly cheerful attitude after 2 4-0 wins was enough to show the calmness of the Portuguese strategist.
Mourinho has used up to 3/4 of the first team players for the last 2 matches. Despite meeting opponents who were rated lower, the "Special One" still chose the brightest names to ensure a guaranteed result. Along with that, he continuously rotated people like Martial, Herrera, Fellaini, Rashford... to ensure everyone is always ready for the upcoming matches.
This is necessary because this year, M.U has to play in many arenas, including the two main fronts, the Premier League and the Champions League. Since last season, using De Gea for the Premier League and Romero for the Europa League has exposed Mourinho's intention to have quality-balanced teams in all competitions.
This year, M.U welcomed Matic, Lukaku and Lindelof (there is still one more name missing as planned by Mourinho). With the presence of 3 names spread across all 3 lines, Mourinho will have many more options to assemble the squad to suit each time of the season. Not to mention, if anyone is injured, he always has an effective replacement plan.
Just calm down and win, M.U - Mourinho!
After West Ham and Swansea, M.U will have the next 5 matches without having to face any name in the Top 6 last season (against Liverpool in round 8, Tottenham in round 10 and Chelsea in round 11). This is considered the best opportunity for the "Red Devils" to get the perfect "pa-pa" to compete with other competitors right from the start of the season.
Looking at all 3 current lines of M.U, the human resources are sufficient and of good quality, thereby ensuring the goal of winning the upcoming 5 matches. This is necessary because the stormy period will come right after that along with Mourinho's team also having to stretch themselves in the Champions League. A good preparation for scores and mentality before a difficult period is never redundant.
"M.U is not a captain, just attack comfortably," Mourinho told the press conference after the match against Swansea. When Lukaku integrated well, Pogba was " bound" by Matic with the peace of mind from Bailly and De Gea in the defense. There is no reason why the "Red Devils" should not play well, especially when they are eager to show themselves after a strong summer of investment along with the desire for titles that has been lost since 2013.
With Mourinho's intelligence, alertness and cold head and the players' eager to show off their feet, the new season is starting to dream for Manchester United. And with the "Special One", he always has a habit of winning the championship in the second season with a club, M.U fans are also waiting for that so that they can see the familiar championship but it has been a long time since Sir Alex retired.
