Chelsea hero Deco feels Jose Mourinho's Manchester United can get back into the title race.

Mourinho returns to Chelsea with Manchester United this Sunday.

“Jose Mourinho was happy at Chelsea. He won nearly everything and the people loved him. It will be a different sensation to play against Chelsea but things change in football," Deco told the London Evening Standard.

“Now he is at United and of course he will try to win the game but in a respectful manner, because he was very popular at Chelsea. Can United still win the title? It is too early to say. In the Premier League you can afford to lose some games and it is just the beginning."
