Jose Mourinho says teams must respect Manchester United, even if they are not the same team as they were under Sir Alex Ferguson.

The Red Devils started their 2019/20 campaign with a 4-0 win over Chelsea at Old Trafford.

Speaking after the game, former United boss Mourinho said: “People have to respect them.

“This is not the Manchester United of ten, 15, 20 years ago but it is Manchester United. There are some very good players.

“You have to know the qualities you have and the weaknesses that you have, and you have to know the qualities and the weaknesses that the opposition have.

“For example, Chelsea today, they stuck to a plan where they were thinking more about their own identity and less about United's identity and their strengths.

“When you have Marcus Rashford playing there on the left, you have to think about that because he can hurt you."
