Jose Mourinho must lead Manchester United to the English title this season if he is to re-establish the culture that under-pinned the success of the Alex Ferguson era, according to the Scotsman's former right-hand man Carlos Queiroz.
Queiroz was assistant manager under Ferguson during two spells totalling five years from 2002 to 2008 and instrumental in the club's 2008 Champions League win as well as three Premier League title triumphs.
The 64-year-old feels United have simply followed the big-spending blueprint of clubs like Manchester City and Chelsea in the post-Ferguson era and need to bed down a nucleus of players to have a chance of sustained success.
