Premier League: Jose Mourinho ready for title challenge

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho believes his side are now in a better position to challenge for the Premier League title after having finished sixth last season. Moreover, Manchester United won the Europa League last season and earned a spot in next season's Champions League group stage, a competition that Mourinho insists is a lot more difficult than the Premier League. "This season is going to be more difficult but I think we have better conditions to fight for the Premier League," Mourinho said. "I think this season we are a little bit better equipped. We are against fantastic teams, against amazing investments. But I believe in our group, in our spirit, in our empathy, in our togetherness. I trust my boys and we are going to try." Manchester United have signed striker Romelu Lukaku from Everton this summer and also brought in Benfica defender Victor Lindelof. "We went to the Europa League as one of the top teams, we go to the Champions League and we are not one of the top teams," Mourinho added about the European competitions. "We have to be better, much better, for that objective. The base of everything is to find what I call a happy dressing room." The manager also added that he needs two more new players: "I am happy with my squad but I would like to have two more players. One midfield player would give me more options. The other is an attacking player through the wings to give me more attacking options." Manchester United are 10/3 at Bet365 to win the Premier League title next season.
