Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says last season's second-place finish is one of his greatest achievements -- and insists his team are "ready" for the new season despite failing to bolster his squad on transfer deadline day.
The Portuguese coach said over the weekend he expected a "difficult" season if no-one else came in but seemed to backtrack ahead of Friday night's Premier League opener against Leicester -- and went on to suggest finishing second last season is among the highlights of a career that has been littered with domestic and European success.
He also included what appeared to be a dig at Jurgen Klopp, who is without a trophy in his three years at Liverpool, and Mauricio Pochettino, who is yet to win any silverware at Tottenham.
