Jose Mourinho admits he's 'not humble' about targets as Manchester United boss desires silverware sweep in debut season

Jose Mourinho has refused to temper expectations at Manchester United and reiterated his desire to win the lot this season.

The 53-year-old made it abundantly clear during his unveiling at Old Trafford last week that merely qualifying for the Champions League will not satisfy him.

Mourinho touched on a number of topics during an interview with Inside United in conjunction with adidas, claiming he believes the Premier League champions could require fewer points than ever before. The lowest total stands at 75 in 1996-97 - won by United - with Leicester reaching 81 in May.

The Portuguese also revealed his love for lunchtime kick-offs - United play before two o'clock in four of their opening six games - and that he is 'expecting a lot' from the club's supporters.

'I'm not humble when I talk about targets, I'm quite aggressive on that,' Mourinho said. 'I want everything and everything is to win matches, play well, score goals, don't concede goals… everything. I want everything.

'I know that we are speaking about a hypothetical situation which is very difficult to reach but I want everything.'

That, he conceded, now takes on fresh obstacles after a power shift in England and at the European Championship.

Mourinho watched on at Chelsea in the opening months of last year as Leicester's shock assault to the summit did not waver. He was sacked following defeat at the King Power Stadium in December.

United's new boss insists the money pouring into the Premier League - plus an emerging lack of fear when facing traditionally bigger clubs - will see the division become even tighter.

'If you look at the Euros and you see what Wales have done and what Iceland did, I think football is changing,' Mourinho added.

'It's not just about the amazing economic situation that every club in the Premier League has now, which allows them to buy well and buy expensive and good players to compete for the biggest prizes.

'It's not just about that, it's also about training methods, preparation and mental preparation, and also nobody is afraid of anybody.

'In the past you could smash opponents, if you were one of the best teams, 5-0 or 6-0 and win 10-15 matches in a row. I think these times are over and fewer points will win the title. Even with a handful of defeats you can be champions because the profile of the competition has changed.'

United travel to China later this month for their pre-season tour with a number of players, owing to international commitments. They then have to contend with a number of early kick-offs in the opening two months of their first campaign under Mourinho.

That starts with Bournemouth away on August 14, with another trip south to Watford on September 18 pencilled in for midday. The Manchester derby and home clash against Leicester are also early.

Mourinho, though, is more than happy with their schedule.

'I love the early kick-off,' he said. 'I love to wake up early in the morning, go for breakfast, go to the bus, go to the game, play the game and win if it's possible and go home and that's it - game over.

'I don't like to wait for matches. In my time in Spain [at Real Madrid] I had some matches where we played at 10pm and I had one Super Cup match against Barcelona which started one day and didn't finish until the next day! I hate this.'

Mourinho spoke glowingly about the '50-metre walk' from Old Trafford tunnel to dugout on matchdays and referenced his 'relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson'.

Speaking about United's fans Mourinho said: I' am going to do my best to make the people happy'

The ex-Porto boss also had a message for the supporters, declaring: 'I understand that they expect a lot from me but I also expect a lot from them.

'There is no chance we will be happy if we are not together and I think the passion [they have] for this club is really amazing.

'It's a new chapter in the club's life. We have brought a few new faces in, we will keep some others but, in the end, it doesn't matter who the manager is, it doesn't who the new players are or who is staying or leaving, it's Man United and Man United is much more than any one of us.

'The passion the fans have is for the club and I feel that I am a club man. I am going to do my best to be happy and to make the people happy.'
