#2 Cup runs and the winning mentality
Trending
Manchester United won the EFL Cup by beating Southampton earlier this year and also claimed the FA Community Shield at the start of the season. Mourinho’s side might not be having a consistent run in the league, but the Cup runs have shown that they have what it takes to win silverware.
When Mourinho lifted the league title with Chelsea in both the spells, it was preceded by solid cup runs which showcased what the team was good at. The same progressive situation can be seen at Manchester United.
Sadly for the team, too many injuries have hampered their progress in the league which is all about the consistency week in week out.
What is most important here is United’s young crop have now tasted success and could potentially do so again if they lift the Europa League trophy. The likes of Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw are young and the cup runs will have instilled the champion’s mentality in them.
