Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho has reacted to yesterday’s UEFA Champions League draw that pitched his side in the same group alongside Benfica, Basel and CSKA Moscow.
Mourinho who addressed pregame conference ahead of this weekend Premier League game against Leicester City, said Manchester United will have a difficult season.
The Red Devils had to win the Europa League in Stockholm in May to book a place in Europe’s elite club competition for the first time since 2015.
They are in Group A in the Champions League group stage and Mourinho expects a difficult test to finish in the top two.
He said, “I think it’s a dangerous group.
“If you go to the recent history of United, United lost against Basel, United couldn’t beat Benfica in two matches, I think also against CSKA Moscow the last time was 0-0 or 1-0 or something. “I know the three places, I never played against Benfica in the Champions League but of course, I know the dimension and the quality.
“I played a few times against CSKA, I played against Basel too, I know the places. It’s not going to be easy.”
