I think if you say a squad costing a billion quid aren't title chasers, then they'll believe it and play like it. No one would believe him if he said we were going to win the league, but make no mistake, they were challengers mere weeks ago when they were having a happy spell and he'd have been talking about it in private. He's the manager of Manchester United ffs, not Spurs, no matter what he personally believes at any point in a season is irrelevant, Manchester United talk about winning titles. The biggest team in all of England if not the entire world isn't here to make up the numbers.
Look at Klopp yesterday, they've been shite for weeks, were well beaten and the only thing people will remember from the post match interview is "muh var" "muh injuries" "muh new players". Simply because he knows that the only way that pool side will be champions is if they think like champions. That's how you get world class result records out of a team that lets face is, isn't all that.
fair enough so he should just blame var and refs and the weather? not a bad idea he’d actually have merit there what with the sheffield match that had two clear and obvious errors against utd in the post match report, everton scored their goal almost 90+6 with +4 added time, and today’s goal the scorer slaps lindeolf in the face before the header

1 billion are we just making up numbers now lol
