Premier League 2018-19: 5 reasons why we should not underestimate Mourinho's Manchester United

#4 Plethora of attacking options from the wing

The options which Mourinho has in terms of wing backs are the always reliable Ashley Young and captain Antonio Valencia. The backups to these players are Matteo Darmian and Marcos Rojo. Both Young and Valencia look absolutely lethal when coming forward with the ball and making crosses into the box. Both are experience enough to provide Jose Mourinho and Manchester United much needed stability in terms of attack and defence.

Alexis Sanchez has taken some time to adapt at Old Trafford

Apart from the wing backs, Mourinho does have the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Juan Mata who play in wide areas. Both of these players are highly experienced and have played at the top for a number of years. Dropping deep to collect the ball and help the midfielders and taking the ball forwards dribbling a few - both Alexis and Mata can play multiple roles. Both these players are adept in finding spaces behind the defence as well and also finding support from the forwards in the penalty box when making crosses in dangerous areas.
