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

#5 Skilled goalscorers and finishers

While, they may have lost Zlatan to the MLS in the previous season, the main star for United in terms of goal scoring and getting the better of defenders has been Romelu Lukaku. The prolific goalscorer who Mourinho had brought from Everton delivered a fine season with both club and country. He has got the aerial ability and physicality which suit him to be a natural centre forward.

Lukaku and Lingard form a dangerous strike partnership

Jesse Lingard, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial are the other goal scoring options available to Mourinho. Lingard is a proven goalscorer and was a regular for the England starting XI in the World Cup as well. His main ability lies in striking the ball from in and around the penalty area, finding the spaces in between players and linking up play between Alexis, Mata and Lukaku.

Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial are both talented young individuals and both have shown in the past that they can perform at the topmost level. Rashford especially has been key in delivering some important wins for Manchester United and will be looking to continue the same in the future. Martial, with the backing of Mourinho can also become the player that the world knows he can become.
