United need to be consistent on their flying start

Much opposite of the woes Benfica are facing in the competition, Jose Mourinho's men have announced their return to the Champions League with an impressive start. The Red Devils won their first two games for the first time since the 2012-13 season and continued their form by adding a third win and topping the Group A.

To announce themselves as serious contenders for Champions League title, Manchester United must continue to revel in the competition, regardless the injuries they are currently battling.

Although Mourinho's defensive approach in the management has been criticised, it has certainly churned out the results.

Albeit defence might be a crucial aspect of his game, the Portuguese mastermind still needs to ponder over United's ability to kill games and be more offensive against big clubs. Should United add another bit of ruthlessness in their attack, the Red Devils are certainly in for a trophy-laden season at Old Trafford.
