7 Teams Who Can Win The Champions League Based On Performances In Gameweek One
6. Manchester United
Returning to the Champions League for the first time since Sir Alex Ferguson walked away from the club, the current Europa League holders made a seemingly smooth transition back to Europe's premier competition.
United ran out comfortable 3-0 winners against a Basel side who simply seemed overawed by the occasion at Old Trafford.
In Jose Mourinho, United have a manager at the helm who simply knows how to the win the trophy, and is the best in the world when it comes to setting a team up to win when it gets to the knockout stages. He has won the trophy twice, both times against the odds with Porto and Inter, and there's every chance he can make it three with the Red Devils.
With Romelu Lukaku leading from the front and Paul Pogba in form (prior to injury), United look a strong bet to go all the way this season.
