José Mourinho is starting to mould Manchester United into the kind of winning machine all his best sides resemble. He is intent on taking the competition seriously despite United being in the EFL Cup final, the Europa League, and vying for a top-four finish. All of this means that if beleaguered Blackburn Rovers – second bottom in the Championship and with virtually absent owners, Venky’s – can beat them it will be a bona fide upset. Jamie Jackson
