Paddy McNair says Jose Mourinho will win trophies at Manchester United

Paddy McNair is confident the appointment of "world class" Jose Mourinho as Manchester United manager will bring trophies to the club.

Sky Sports News HQ broke the news on Thursday that Mourinho had signed his contract before the club confirmed the Portuguese will be in charge at Old Trafford next season the following day.

United have endured a disappointing three-year spell by their standards since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, winning just the Community Shield under David Moyes before Louis van Gaal lifted this season's FA Cup.

However, McNair believes the appointment of the former Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid manager will see the club challenge for more honours.

"He's a world class manager, he has won trophies in a lot of countries and he has worked with the best players and with the best teams in the world," McNair said.

"I feel like he can bring trophies to Man Utd."

The Northern Ireland international was named man of the match in a new midfield role in Friday's 3-0 win over Belarus and has been included in his country's 23-man squad for Euro 2016.

He is now hoping to impress his new manager at club level this summer but said none of the United players had heard from Mourinho.

"Every time I go on the pitch there is someone new watching you for the first time probably so I'm just trying to impress everyone," he said, before adding: "I have not heard anything from him."
