Mourinho crashes Lingard's interview on Manchester United tour
Manchester United won the EFL Cup and Europa League under Jose Mourinho in the Portuguese's first season at the helm last season.
However, they struggled in the Premier League, finishing a lowly sixth and outside of the top four for the second season in a row.
Next year will mark five years since their last title triumph, back in the days when Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge and Robin van Persie spearheaded their attack.
In the time since, David Moyes and Louis van Gaal have been axed for failing to deliver the silverware supporters expect.
A club like United, you always want to win the league. It's always their aim
Jaap Stam on Manchester United
Stam knows all about the lust for trophies at the club given he spent four years at Old Trafford between 1998 and 2002.
And the Reading manager thinks, after the signings of Victor Lindelof, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic, a title tilt is the minimum requirement.
"A club like United, you always want to win the league. It's always their aim. It has to be their aim, to win the league," Stam told Sky Sports.

"You're always looking as a manager, Mourinho as well, how last season went and what quality do we need. You're going to be looking for that as a club.
"You can see now, with the signings that they've done, brought some great players in; quality-wise very good, experience-wise very good as well.
"That makes it interesting as well because if you look at the other teams as well, they're all bringing good players in because they all want to win the league or do well in the Champions League."
