Every year, when English Premier League takes off, few teams are always taken as the favorite to win the crown, and in most of the cases, one of these favorites eventually win the title. Manchester United is one such favorable who is always supposed to be on the top whenever a new season starts, but sometimes, like this year, this didn’t hold true. Despite all the exaggeration before the season, this defending champion could not overshadow their disastrous start, in fact, new manager David Moyes tried his best and also registered some impressive wins later, but it was not enough to take them among the top five. Defending champions are now at ninth place – much below to their supposed position, but anyway, this is how this game is played. While many have already ruled out United chances to retain the title, Chelsea’s manager looks in no mood to accept their defeat so easily, perhaps he is confident that Red Devils will make an impressive comeback very soon.
Like what everyone is saying, Arsenal, the top contender this year, will have to sustain its top spot for at least next three months if they really want to win the title, coz favorite teams like United, Chelsea, and Manchester City can spin the wheel in their favor any month. Indeed, David Moyes’ men is trailing top score by 12 good points, they would also have to redefine their strategies if Scottish football manager really wants to prove his worth for the club, especially as a substitute of legendary Sir Alex Ferguson. Mourinho is the same man who is believed to be roped in by United boss for Alex successor, but former Everton boss chose his old charm Chelsea over United. Describing United chances this season, Portuguese manager said, “If it was another club I’d tell you it’s impossible, but with Manchester United I don’t say that. The reasons are because of the potential of the team, what the club represents and the culture of the club.
“It’s not a club in panic. It’s not a club where you feel the end of the world is arriving. They are calm, they go the same way and support the manager. Nobody touches the manager. They have a project. If they don’t win this season they believe they will win next season. It’s a very, very stable situation and an example to many others. Because of that they are still a contender. They will stick together, they will fight and try to get 12 to 15 points in a row. Yes they are still a contender. They will wait for matches between Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham when others will lose points.”
