EPL 2017-18, GW1: Manchester United vs West Ham United

We are much stronger as a team.

“We’re going to try to win the title”.

The Premier League match between Manchester United and West Ham will be broadcast live online and on NBCSN.

“I look forward to the season with optimism, with enthusiasm”. Then I want to go to Swansea, a hard match.

The Red Devils finished sixth last season, largely due to their home form, and qualified for the Champions League by winning the Europa League.

“I want, I want!. What we had was midfielders and wingers scoring, and even central defenders scoring goals from set pieces”, Mourinho said.

Mourinho has been boosted by David de Gea staying and feels United’s rivals will be more tied up with European commitments this season.

“But if we cannot strengthen the team in this area, we have players we can trust”.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better finisher at United than Ibra”. Portuguese manager will have a mixture of youth and experience in his squad.

“City have brought in players in position where they were weak, the full-back positions and the goalkeeper”. They’re equipped. Liverpool, they’re equipped. He was at United as they transitioned from serial champions to also-rans.

“I’m sure he’ll be disappointed”, Alli told Sky Sports.

As for how it felt to pull on a United shirt following spells with Chelsea, West Brom on loan and Everton, ex-Anderlecht man Lukaku said: “I was thinking about it a lot during the week”.

Premier League football makes a welcome return to Old Trafford this afternoon as Manchester United take on West Ham United in the club’s first domestic game of 2017/18.

It was United’s biggest opening-day win since beating Fulham 5-1 at Old Trafford in 2006 and Mourinho’s biggest league win as Red Devils manager. And I always had respect and the desire to do well in the English cups and I always liked to go to the finals. Last season we were also top of the league in the first match and we finished sixth so this means nothing. “I hope Jose plays him up front with Rashford”. This time around Mourinho should give him more attacking-minded role and leave the more defensive work to Matic and Ander Herrera.

Mkhitaryan claimed his second assist of the game feeding Martial who made no mistake when slotting beyond the despairing dive of Hart, before Pogba got in on the act when he fired into the back of the net after being put through by Martial. I’ve been pulled up for my temper before but today we had to keep our cool.
