Jose Mourinho scoffs at Manchester United ‘title favourites’ and ‘Dream Team’ tags after 4-0 victory over West Ham
The Red Devils swiped the Hammers aside with their best performance since Sir Alex Ferguson retired on opening day
JOSE MOURINHO insists Manchester United are not title favourites after winning their opening game 4-0 to top the table.
The Red Devils swiped West Ham aside with their best performance since Sir Alex Ferguson retired.
And it left fans and pundits labelling them the “Dream Team”.
But the United boss was quick to dampen down expectation ahead of tomorrow’s trip to Swansea.
Mourinho said: “I'm too experienced and stable to lose my discipline, my stability and to think a 4-0 really makes us the best team in the country, the favourites or the dream team.
“We're not favourites, we're not the dream team.
“We're just a team with more confidence than last season, with more time of work together, but I'm calm.
“When I look to the last match, I like many, many things.

“But the challenge is not to repeat the result, because a 4-0 win is difficult to repeat in the Premier League, but to repeat the same kind of performance.
“We had good tactical discipline in the team, a really good clean sheet, played good football, had a good dynamic in attack.
“We were scoring goals, winning 1-0 and we kept playing to try to score more goals and to try to play well.”
Meanwhile, Mourinho reiterated he had wanted four players this summer, despite only adding three.
But he did praise United's conduct on the transfer market.
He added: "My club did phenomenally well.
"I had four targets, we got three and got all of them before the first match of the season so my club did great work for us."
