    AN impressive feat of eight goals scored without reply and a maximum six points from the first two matches - the Manchester United engine is purring and not yet into second gear, which should prove worrying for the rest of the chasing pack.

    Jose Mourinho, the Red Devils' manager with a perpetual scowl, refuses to get carried away, even as fans and pundits lavish praise on his expensively-assembled squad.

    The Portuguese boss is quick to remind everyone that his team opened the last season with two wins as well, but couldn't sustain the momentum as the weeks and months wore on, and finished eventually in a lowly sixth place.
