So Jose Mourinho has nearly completed his first season in charge of Manchester United, but has their been any progress?
Well United may have won both the Community Shield and EFL Cup this season they still sit 5th in the Premier League table, the same place they finished last season. In fact Louis Van Gaal had a better points return (56) than Mourinho (54) after 29 Premier League games.
Performances under Mourinho have been a lot better though, in some ways there have been some classic United performances and the return of last-minute goals something that was never seen under the Dutchman.
United are currently on a 23 match unbeaten run in the Premier League but they have drawn half of those games, if 5 of those drawn games had been wins then they would be up with Chelsea and Spurs at the top of the table. So overall if you look at the wider picture you can see that they have progressed in many different ways.
You can't ignore the fact that they do have a trophy in the cabinet this year, The EFL Cup which they won by besting Southampton in the final back in February. They are also in the quarter finals of the Europa League and reached the Quarter finals on the F.A Cup.
Overall there is still the possibility of winning the Europa League which would enable them to play in Champions League next season and after Sunday's win over Chelsea in the Premier League the top four can not be ruled out yet, while it may not look like there has been any progress at Old Trafford this season there has!
