In the first round, Manchester United defeated West Ham 4: 0. Reporters asked Mourinho if United is more stable than its competitors.

"If the rivals have problems, these problems will be solved in a couple of weeks, when the transfer window is closed," said Mourinho.

"When they say that, for example, Chelsea lost Matic, you need to remember that they bought Bakayoko and intend to buy Drinkwater. So what's the problem? The problem is when you sell, but you do not buy. And here there is no problem - you probably even became stronger. 7 teams play in the Champions League or the European League and they are all strong ".

"Who is the main contender for the title? For me it's the champion. Always. For some reason they became the champion. Not sure this team will retain his title, a champion of the chances seem higher ".

"I just want us to go to every match with a desire to win it, never thinking that the opponent is better than us and we should try to catch on a draw. Perhaps 1 point would be a good result, but we do not intend to play with this attitude. In every fight, United will fight for victory. Won - means won, did not win - did not win ".

Today (August 19) Manchester United will play in the 2 nd round of the Premier League against Swansea. The beginning - at 14:30 Kyiv time.
