Jose Mourinho believes he can still attain a Premier League winner's medal for his time at Manchester United amid the ongoing financial fair play controversy involving Manchester City.

Despite winning the Carabao Cup and UEFA Europa League titles during his first campaign as Red Devils manager, the Portuguese tactician has maintained that finishing second in the English top flight to the Citizens in the 2017/18 season remains his biggest achievement at the club.
The Sky Blues are now facing 115 charges relating to breached financial regulations. Should they be found guilty, there is the possibility that they could be docked points or stripped of their titles for the period in question.
It seems Mourinho is hoping that the latter is true so he can take his tally of English titles to four, having already won three with Chelsea.
"We finished second in the Premier League," the Setubal native said, as per ESPN.
"I think we still have a chance to win that league because maybe they punish Man City with points and maybe we win that league, and they have to pay me the bonus and give me the medal."
The 61-year-old is now manager of Turkish giants Fenerbahce and is set to face his former club in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night.
A two-time winner of the tournament himself, Mourinho believes, despite all their ongoing league struggles, United can be successful in the continental competition.

"If I have to say now who are the two biggest candidates to win the Europa League, I think it's easy, I would say Manchester United and Tottenham," he added. "The Premier League is a different level of quality, a different level of intensity, of pace, of tactical culture, of everything. We are going to play against one of the two strongest teams."
