MAN UTD LEGEND: MOURINHO CAN WIN TROPHIES FOR MAN UTD

Former Manchester United great Eric Cantona
has backed Jose Mourinho’s squad to get
back to challenging for top honours, three
years since they last won the Premier
League.
“It’s just the beginning. Manchester can still
be champions. Jose Mourinho is a successful
manager at a successful club which this year
has succesful players,” the former French
international said in an interview published
Wednesday in Portuguese daily newspaper
Publico.
“But this is an extremely difficult
championship, full of great teams and great
managers like (Manchester City coach) Pep
Guardiola,” he added.
Since Alex Ferguson retired after winning the
league in 2013, Manchester United have
finished seventh, fourth and fifth, their only
major trophy during that time being last
season’s FA Cup.
The club kicked off their league campaign this
season with three straight wins under
Mourinho, but slumped to back-to-back
defeats against Manchester City and Watford.
They are in sixth place in the English Premier
League table with 12 points after seven
matches.
After the international break, Manchester
United travel to Liverpool on October 17.
Cantona, 50, won four league titles with united
prior to retiring in 1997 at the end of a
colourful career in which he became a cult
figure at Old Trafford. He now lives in Lisbon.
