Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho expects attacking football and goals galore from his side next season.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has predicted goals for his side next season having bolstered his attacking lineup during the transfer window.

The likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan have joined the club this summer and will link up with Wayne Rooney, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and others next term.

One of the biggest criticisms of Mourinho's predecessor Louis van Gaal last season was his negative playing style, but Mourinho does not see that being a problem during his tenure.

"Sometimes people say the team has no leaders, it's this, it's that, but what we need is everybody with the same kind of mentality. I like communication and push them to communicate. I give a lot of instruction in training," Mourinho told reporters.

"It's difficult for me to do the same in matches so I need guys on the pitch to read the game, to understand what we want. Zlatan is going to be one of them, and I feel already that we have guys to do the same. I don't think we're going to have a problem at that level. We have lots of quality.

"When I see our group in the attacking areas. Zlatan, Rashford, Rooney, Mkhitaryan, [Juan] Mata, all the wingers we have. I think we have lots of quality in attack to produce good football and score goals."

Mourinho fell to his first defeat as United manager earlier today when his side lost 4-1 to Borussia Dortmund in Shanghai.
