3 reasons why Manchester United will win the 2016/17 Premier League title

Good balance of youth and experience

There are a lot of young players in that United squad, who play without fear and look like excellent prospects for the next five or so years.

However, several of them are good enough to make a difference now, with Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial, and Eric Bailly already proving invaluable to the team.

However, there is also a lot of experience in the squad – Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney have won numerous titles at Old Trafford, while the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Juan Mata are also winners at other clubs around the world.

Getting this mix of young, hungry players and more experienced pros is integral to United’s success this season, as was proved when Mourinho brought Marouane Fellaini and Ashley Young in for the Liverpool match, and they produced disciplined performances.

It’s not only Mourinho who knows how to win the title, there are many players in that United team who have done it as well, and this could be crucial going into the latter stages of the season.
