So here it is! Jose Mourinho has completed his second signing of the summer as the Big Swede, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has announced that he will be joining the Reds Devils this summer. Well, Manchester United desperately needed a striker, and we are pretty sure that they have found a perfect man to end their goal drought.
It is safe to say that Manchester United were one of the worst attacking sides last season, yet they somehow managed to finish their campaign on the 5th spot and also won the FA Cup. The major concern for the newly appointed manager would be getting the team right back on track and to challenge for the title.
The Manchester side will be battling in the Europa League and to be honest, this is the perfect venue for the Devils because let’s face it, the squad is surely not ready to battle the big guns like Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern Munich. Jose Mourinho will be facing one of the toughest tasks of his career, but he will be doing everything he can to make the Devils an unbeatable force once again.
The pre-season friendlies will be playing an important role Jose’s master plan for United as through those games, he will identify the errors in the squad. Many believe that Jose is the perfect man for Manchester United, while many believe otherwise. Well, time will decide the fate of the Old Trafford outfit, but here, we will give you three reasons for why Manchester United will win the title next season:

Jose Mourinho: ‘The Perfect One’-
The 53-year-old Portuguese tactician has been waiting for the Old Trafford’s job for ages and now, as he is in the charge, he will surely not blow it away. Mourinho has a perfect record in his managerial career as he has won the league in every single league he has managed. Besides that, the 53-year-old is a proven winner and knows the ups and downs of the League.
Yes, he had to face criticism last season, but that simply doesn’t make him bad. He is unarguably one of the best managers in the industry. He needs to work on the consistency of the players, and if this is solved out, Manchester United will be rocking the Premier League stages.

Perfect signings-
Soon after his arrival at the club, the Portuguese made his first signing of the game. It was like; he was observing United’s performance the whole time and he knew what the side needs most is a solid defender. He signed the Ivorian centre back Eric Bailly from Villarreal and most recently, he has also completed Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s speculation. Manchester United already young and dynamic strikers but they lack the experience that Zlatan can provide.
Not just on the field, the Big Swede could also become a tutor for the players like Martial and Rashford and that will help the youngsters in the future. Besides that, it is reported that Manchester United have also completed the signing of Henrikh Mkhitaryan from the German side Borussia Dortmund. There is no doubt that Manchester United needs an attacking midfielder, who could deliver the perfect dead balls in the final third and we personally think that Mkhitaryan is the perfect man for that. His previous season’s stats speak for him and alongside Rooney, Martial, and Ibrahimovic, the Armenian would steal the show at the theatre of dreams.

Laying the Foundations-
It is safe to say that the Portuguese manager is building the team according to his plans. As stated earlier, he has made the signings who fits his bills. Bailly a strong and muscular defender, Zlatan a deadly finisher and an obvious threat in the counter attack. Mkhitaryan, a tireless worker, who loves to track the field all the time. All these names are the perfect example of what Jose Mourinho is known for.
It is understood that Mourinho will be considering this job for a long-long time to come, and therefore, he will be settling his ideas into the base of the team. He has stated that he won’t be playing a defensive football, something for what he is known for, and that would be an exciting sight to see, how he will line the squad up. Manchester United is studded with some stellar names, and almost every single player will be demanding the first team action, and that makes this even more interesting.
