Arsenal legend Thierry Henry admits he sees something of the Gunners’ legendary Invincibles side in this new-look Manchester United team this season.

The Frenchman played in that 2003/04 title-winning team and believes Jose Mourinho as adopted a similar approach in the way he’s built his United squad this term.

With key figures such as Paul Pogba, along with new signings Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic bringing the combination of physical power and intelligence on the ball, Henry believes they look the real deal at the moment.

United opened their campaign with a 4-0 drubbing of West Ham on Sunday, and Henry was suitably impressed with what he saw at Old Trafford.

‘Mourinho likes bringing players he knows are going to be able to play the way he likes to play.’

United only finished 6th in the Premier League last season due to struggling for goals and drawing 15 top flight matches, but will have been encouraged by this fast start against the Hammers.
