Mourinho to deliver United title glory in two years, Carvalho predicts

New Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho
will deliver the Premier League title within two
years, predicted defender Ricardo Carvalho on
Sunday.

"Jose will have something to prove after what
happened at Chelsea," the Portuguese
international who was coached by Mourinho at
Chelsea, Porto and Real Madrid and now plays
for Monaco, wrote in The Sun newspaper.

"I think he will make Manchester United better
and in the next two years they will be
champions."

Carvalho's comments come on a day when
Mourinho could make his first appearance at Old
Trafford since being named as Louis van Gaal's
successor in Sunday's prestigious Soccer Aid
charity match.

Just nine days after the official confirmation of
Mourinho's appointment, the 53-year-old will be
in Manchester to give his support to UNICEF, who
use the friendly fixture to raise money for
children in danger.

The former Chelsea boss had agreed to manage
an 'England' team consisting of former
internationals, musicians, actors and other
celebrities, against a Rest of the World team
coached by Leicester chief Claudio Ranieri and
featuring a host of retired legends.

But, following his move to United, Mourinho
could instead decide to save his first game on
the home bench for the Premier League club's
clash with Everton in Wayne Rooney's testimonial
on August 3.

Carvalho believes Mourinho, who has won the
Premier League title three times, has something
to prove after his tricky time at Chelsea.

"He is a great coach and now he is in a great club
- United are one of the biggest in the world.

"I have no doubt that he can bring trophies back
to United again and that he will make them
champions.

"I don't know if it will be in the first year, the
second year or the third, but Mourinho will win
the title again. My prediction is that it will be in
the second year."
