5 reasons why Manchester United will turn around their 2016/17 season this week

Finding form

Having gone six games unbeaten in the Premier League, are Manchester United finally finding form under Jose Mourinho?

Admittedly, it has taken longer than expected for the ‘Special One’ to implement his winning ways at The Theatre of Dreams, but Sunday’s 1-0 victory over Spurs shows they can beat the best teams in the division on their day.

Undoubtedly, United have a vastly talented squad, possessing the likes of David De Gea, Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but a stuttering start to their 2016/17 campaign saw numerous Red Devil supporters cast doubt over whether Mourinho could turn this side into potential league champions in his debut term.

Picking up 11 points from a possible 18 on offer is hardly title-winning form, but it is a significant improvement on their early season performances.

Back this unbeaten run up with victories over Crystal Palace and West Brom, and who knows what 2017 holds for Mourinho and Manchester United.
