Mourinho insists Man Utd 'destination is to be champions'

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho insists his team is on the right track.

United go to Everton tomorrow.

When asked about some negative stats surrounding the start to the campaign and the frustrating home run in the league, Mourinho replied: "That is always another statistic. For how long does Man United not play well at home? For how long does Man United not win in four consecutive [league] matches at home?

"There are different statistics and you go in the direction you want to go. Sometimes you win matches, but you don't know the destination. You don't know how it goes to hand, but you just win. In our group, we know the destination and know how it goes to hand.

"When I speak about destination, I think that destination is for us to be champions. That might not be this year, maybe we cannot do it. Anything is possible in football, but maybe we don't do it as there is a gap between us and the top.

"The destination is for us to be champions. I don't know when, maybe next year or in two years' time, maybe when I am not here and somebody else comes but, if we follow this direction, the destination is for us to be champions."
