5 reasons why Manchester United will win the league title under Jose Mourinho next season

#5 The unbeaten run in the league

United have been resilient despite the lack of wins

Mourinho pretty much breeds success. Only twice has he failed to lift the league title – make that three keeping in mind the current season –and he has always lifted the title in his second year.

The only thing predictable in the unpredictable nature of the football is that Jose’s teams will not often be defensively fragile. His biggest task was to build a spine and he has done that successfully with Eric Bailly, Ander Herrera and Paul Pogba.

United’s last defeat in the league seems like an eternity ago. October was the last time they were humbled and had it not been for the profligacy of their attackers, they would have been closer to Chelsea than Liverpool at the moment.

When Jose was asked in the 2013-14 campaign if his Chelsea side were title contenders, he idiosyncratically claimed his side were ‘a little horse that needs milk and needs to learn how to jump.’ The following season, the same little horse breezed past the league. Don’t be surprised if you see a similar beast next season, this time, Mourinho jockeying Manchester United.
