After several seasons, Manchester United have managed to put together a team which could strike fear into any other in Europe. They have finally managed to recruit some world class players, who are, or are hitting, their peaks.

And the biggest takeaway for Mourinho will be the fact that his players have delivered. Eric Bailly led the way with another impressive performance. Time and again, he shackled the opposition players and threw in a few rough tackles.

Zlatan scored a sumptuous goal and was impressive throughout. Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia bombed down the flanks and David de Gea pulled off a couple of impressive saves towards the end. Anthony Martial hasn’t hit his peak form yet, but should pull through.

All of this points to the pack that not only do United have big names, they also have proven performers. Whether, this leads to silverware or not, is not clear. But, it certainly won’t be due to lack of personnel.
