Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that he is at the 20-time English champions to build the future with a certain style of play as he defended his side’s disappointing start to the season.

Mourinho and his Manchester United side have had a less than impressive start to the season highlighted by the fact that they have drawn their last four games at home and this has made them lose touch with the leading pack. They are currently in 7th position with 20 points behind the likes of Chelsea (34 points), Arsenal (31 points), Liverpool (30 points) and Manchester City (30 points).

In his words, the former Real Madrid, FC Porto and Inter Milan boss said: “I only care about the way we play … keep the faith in the way we are playing and try to have better results, and let’s see where that ends”

“I am here to build the future, and build the future with a certain DNA, with a certain style. It is one of the items [of the job], but there are others, and some other items are also related to football results, objectives and targets.

“So I would not be just happy with that. I demand a lot from myself, I demand a lot from the people who work with me, I demand a lot from the players, and I like the clubs to demand a lot from myself, too. So I cannot say that I would be just happy with that item. I want more.

“We play now in between the opponents’ lines. We look forward, our defensive line is very high. Our central defenders don’t follow the man, they defend zonal.” He further stated.

“There are different styles of playing football. We try to follow our style. I have never had a team with so much ball possession. I have never had a team with so much control of a game by having the ball. I have never had a team that creates so many chances.

“If we manage to have all of those with some more pragmatism in front of the goal and in a defensive process, then we will be very, very good.” he concluded.
