Manchester United have made their best start to a Premier League season since 2011-12, when they also won six and drew one of their opening seven games. It's not the only comparison that is uncannily similar.
In four of their next five matches, United play Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea and Newcastle. If the team can be as impressive in those games as they have been until now, there will be no doubt of their status as title favourites with the rivals from across town.
Meanwhile, around league trips to United Liverpool and Huddersfield are Benfica and Swansea away in the Champions League and Carabao Cup respectively. Mourinho is once again trying to compete on all fronts and, while he'd always like more players, he has a very strong squad.
