Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has warned that their run of three wins in a row, has not changed his view that it will be a “difficult” season for the club.
United have eased talk of a crisis around Old Trafford with back-to-back Premier League victories over Burnley and Watford.
The Red Devils also recorded a convincing Champions League win against Young Boys in Switzerland in the midweek.
But having issued a gloomy prediction for the season following a frustrating transfer window, Mourinho claimed that United’s recent revival after successive defeats to Brighton and Tottenham, has done nothing to change his mind.
“For sure, a difficult season.
“I don’t change that because we won two matches in the Premier League.
“You see the level of the teams. You see the Liverpool squad, (Manchester) City squad, Chelsea squad, Tottenham squad, Arsenal improving. It’s going to be difficult.
“I’m not saying we are going to have more points than last season because last season we collected a very acceptable level of points.
“I think we are going to be a better team. We are going to play better than we did, but I think it’s going to be a very difficult season.
“I am optimistic, but a difficult season, yes.
“I think good results and good performances make miracles. Bad results and bad performances make you look more tired, more upset, more ugly, more everything.
“Football is a little bit like this. A team that yesterday looked very bad today looks very good, and yesterday looked very good today looks very bad,” Mourinho said ahead of Saturday’s clash with Wolves at Old Trafford.
