The Portuguese wasted no time in iterating exactly was is expected of him at the club...
Read his thrilling statement and see more pics after the cut
"It is difficult for me to describe and find the right words for this club. I don't like the denomination that people use like 'dream job'. This is not dream job, this is reality - I am Manchester United manager. The reality is that this is a job that everyone wants but not many people get to have, I have it."
"I know the responsibility, the expectation, the legacy and what is behind me at this club. I know what the fans expect of me and this challenge doesn't make me nervous because my history in the last ten years is to live with big club's expectations. I believe it is the right moment in my career, where I feel very well prepared and stable, with a great motivation. I can say that I am where I want to be ; I want to be in this club, I want to be in this country, in the Premier League and the domestic cups."
He however stated his disappointment in not being in the Uefa Champions League but is ready to take the team to the UCL next season and hopeful it'll realise.
"I am a bit disappointed that I am not in the Champions League, as I do not hide that I chase Sir Alex's records in that competition - the number of matches as a manager. I am around 130 matches, maybe a little bit more or less. Hopefully it will only be one season that we are not there. I say 'we' because the club is much more important than myself. Man United is a Champions League club and we have to make sure that in July 2017, instead of waiting for the Europa League, we are ready for the group draw of the Champions League."
