Manchester United finished second in the Premier League last season and will hope to close the gap on rivals Manchester City during the 2018-19 campaign.
"I don't know what Ed Woodward and Mourinho have been doing, but I am sorry, this is not the Man United I know of recent years, sitting on their hands, watching other player and other clubs spend money".
"I think by the end of November or December, you don't need words - you will see by then which teams are candidates to win the Premier League".
Another line in the Guardian says "Yet the club have had to balance the manager's wishes, and the permanent battle to keep him happy, by taking into account Mourinho is notorious for wanting short-term measures, rarely stays too long at any club and does not tend to worry about what happens when he leaves". New signing from Dinamo Zagreb, Filip Benkovic, does not stand a chance to feature after having to still train with his new teammates.
How Mourinho reacts from now will be dictated to some extent by results, but the key objectives at the turn of the year have all been fulfilled as far as the club are concerned. Signing Alexis Sanchez when he became available was another.
And now it has emerged Varane was also spoken about in the corridors of power at United.
"They do not normally leave themselves in this position". Paul Pogba, Marouane Fellaini, Ashley Young and Jesse Lingard return to training after extended leaves on Monday, which means that they are likely to be unfit for the match.

Mourinho was left frustrated in his attempts to bolster United's squad ahead of the season, as the club failed to bring in a central defender, with a late bid for Atletico Madrid's Diego Godin proving fruitless.
The Portuguese went some way to countering suggestions he is unhappy with his squad at his pre-match press conference.
"One lie repeated 1,000 times is still a lie, but the perception of people is that it's true".
"I have my players and I like my players", he declared.
"I have my players and I like my players, I like to work with my players", said Mourinho.
"That's one of the worries when you're signing players".
