After defeat at Manchester United, Avram Grant knows he must try to win over the Chelsea supporters who sang Jose Mourinho's name and draped a banner across the front of the away section, reading: "Jose Mourinho - Simply the best".

Chelsea later made the bizarre claim that Sky Television were responsible for the banner, something the company later denied.

Grant said: "It is not a problem for me. I appreciated his (Mourinho's) achievements as a coach.

"He did good things here. I remember that.

"This just shows our supporters remember that too and that they are good supporters.

"I have only been here for three days so there are no songs for me yet!

"Maybe after a couple of years there will be. I respect him (Mourinho) and enjoyed working with him.

'But give me some time and we will see what happens. I want to do the best for Chelsea.

"We are five points back but that is not a problem for us.

"The base of Chelsea is good but every coach has his own style. Over time, you will see mine."
