JOSE MOURINHO has vowed to win the title in one season.
By Alex Wood
The Portuguese took the reins at Old Trafford following Louis van Gaal's sacking at the end of last season.
And the ex-Chelsea chief claims he's under no pressure from United bigwigs - but he's determined to win the title in his first season.
He told The Sun: "No ultimatum. No demands.
"Just tranquillity to play and work my three-year contract.
"The message from the owners and Mr Woodward was this — 'Get your three years, do your work, improve the team and bring us back where we belong during a three-year period'.
"My message was that I wanted to win the title in the first season."
Mourinho also insists he will not hide behind Champions League qualification.
He added: "I want to be champion. To say before the season starts that the top four is the target?
"The top four is not the target. We want to play to be champions.
"If during the season we realise the points difference doesn't allow us to fight for the title, we are going to establish a new title and when you can't be champion the next target is to finish top four.
"But day one, I don't want to hide behind a bad season or no Champions League football to say we want to finish top four."
