José Mourinho: I could still win PL with Man United if City punished

Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho said he is hopeful of winning the Premier League title if Manchester City are docked points due to Financial Fair Play breaches.

City are facing 115 charges of breaking Premier League financial regulations and could have their titles taken away if they are found guilty.

Meanwhile, United finished in second place in the 2017-18 season, 19 points behind champions Manchester City.

“We finished second in the Premier League,” Mourinho said at a news conference Wednesday. “I think we still have a chance to win that league because maybe they punish Man City with points and maybe we win that league and they have to pay me the bonus and give me the medal.”

Mourinho backed Manchester United to soon find success after their poor run in the last couple of seasons.

“Having analysed them with my team, there is work there and they will succeed sooner or later,” he said. “I want them to be successful. I wish the best for the coach and players.

“I want the best for them. If things are not going amazingly well for them, it’s not something that makes me happy.”

“They have a better team than the results are showing,” Mourinho said.

Despite a horrid start to the season, Mourinho feels United can go all the way in the Europa League.

“If I have to say now who are the two biggest candidates to win the Europa League, I think it’s easy, I would say Manchester United and Tottenham,” he said. “The Premier League is a different level of quality, a different level of intensity, of pace, of tactical culture, of everything. Tomorrow we are going to play against one of the two strongest teams.”

United will take on Mourinho’s team Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday.
