Mourinho is best known for his ability to win ugly.

But he is seen here waiting for a bus - as opposed to parking one.

Basking alongside Mourinho in the glory of United's opening Premier League victory is assistant Ricardo Formosinho.

The Red Devils hope to have set the tone of their season with a rampant display against the Hammers.

United new-boy Romelu Lukaku scored twice before Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba got in on the action.

Questions were raised when defender Victor Lindelof - a £31million summer signing from Benfica - was dropped from the squad despite playing against Real Madrid in the Uefa Super Cup on August 8.

But Mourinho believes the Swede, 23, needs time to adjust to English football.

He explained: "I think Real Madrid [in the Uefa Super Cup] was too early for him.

"He played because Jones and Bailly were both suspended.

"I've had players coming from different leagues to the Premier League and, normally, it's not easy. It's different for Lukaku and Matic as they have had years and years in the Premier League.

"I brought Ricardo Carvalho to Chelsea in 2004 and he was a phenomenal defender, one of the best central defenders in the Premier League, but he struggled. It was difficult for him to come in and adapt in the beginning.

"I think Victor needs a little bit of time and he is going to have that time. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is not a defender but, last season, he needed his time too. So let's go step by step because Victor is a fantastic player."
