Gary Neville believes that Manchester United now look like a "Jose Mourinho team" ahead of the new Premier League season.

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has claimed that the club have a strong enough squad to succeed this season.

Jose Mourinho's first campaign in charge ended in silverware in the form of the EFL Cup and Europa League trophy, but there was disappointment in the Premier League.

The Red Devils finished sixth in the table, 24 points adrift of champions Chelsea.

Following the arrivals of Victor Lindelof, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic, Neville believes that Mourinho is finally shaping his own team.

The retired footballer told Sky Sports News: "Manchester United are looking strong, powerful and more like a Jose Mourinho team. I think last season there was a movement away from how the team played under Louis van Gaal's side and I think it will become more of a Mourinho side.

"You can see more of what he has normally done before with Nemanja Matic and Romelu Lukaku coming in, making sure that the spine of the team is really powerful and strong and has that physicality to deal with the Premier League season.

"So I think they're in a real good position, the squad looks strong and I think how Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Lukaku play will determine what happens."

Meanwhile, Mourinho has admitted that he will try to sign Gareth Bale if Real Madrid decide to sell the Welshman.
