That's just what he wants you to think, and both traditional media and social media is swallowing it up. No-one is talking up United's chances but consider this. For all his non-stop whining (and boy is it non-stop!) about Liverpool's four new signings, how many of them are better than their Manchester United counterparts? Alisson or De Gea? Fabinho or Matic? Keita or Pogba? Shaqiri or Sanchez? Mourinho is just doing what he does best and is downplaying expectations.

Fine, Liverpool have spent big this summer, but United have spent big for the past five years and counting. They should be coming ahead of Liverpool and if Liverpool do finish above United it'll be because they have a better manager, not a better squad.
