Jose Mourinho is convinced that Manchester United will achieve enormous success in the coming seasons.

The Portuguese took the reins at Old Trafford in the summer and has already guided the Red Devils to victory in the Community Shield and EFL Cup.

While some trophies are a godsend, Mourinho says silverware this season is not as important to him as building a winning platform for the future to return the famous club to former glories.

"It doesn't matter what happens in terms of titles we win or don't win," he told Sky Sports.

"I always feel that the season is very important for me, the players and the club.

"I would say this can be the first season of the next five or six or seven. It can be the first season of better years.

"And the reality is even in the first season of better years we won already and we have already the chance to do good things until the end of the season.

"If we manage to win the Europa League and in August to play the European Super Cup against the Champions League winner, it will be magnificent."
