Why United deserve this day at Wembley

When Jose Mourinho was installed as Manchester United manager, he was unequivocal. "I want everything," he told the footballing world and, thus far, he has remained completely true to his word.

He never wants to short-change the supporters and always picks strong sides. Even with a 3-0 lead to take to Saint-Etienne in the Europa League in midweek, he still started the likes of Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Mourinho wants to maintain a winning mentality, no matter how taxing the schedule becomes.

It is the clear the boss believes it is his duty to bring silverware to this huge club and because he felt the Community Shield was more of a testament to Louis van Gaal for winning the FA Cup, this trophy is the first one he will have targeted.
