JOSE MOURINHO kicked off the Premier League mind games with a swipe at Manchester United and Manchester City - and declared he is back to win the title in style.

Jose Mourinho wants to dominate the League on his first year back

The Chelsea boss claims the Manchester duo, the past two champions, were far from brilliant and only finished top because everybody else made mistakes. He said: "A few years ago, the better teams were better. I think that.

"You think Manchester United won the Premier League last year because they were an unbelievable team? I don't think so.

"The other contenders didn't have a very good season. The same the year before when City won.

“Others made so many mistakes that City eventually won the competition”

"Were they an extraordinary team? I don't think so. Others made so many mistakes that City eventually won the competition.

"In previous years you had a fantastic Arsenal who were champions without a single defeat. You had a Chelsea with a points record in the Premier League. You had a United side who won the title and had an unbelievable season."

Mourinho is determined to put that right by helping Chelsea storm to the title in his first season back.

"I want to attack and try to be dominant," he said.
