Manchester United will soon be Premier League title challengers under Jose Mourinho and their rivals should be worried, says Jamie Carragher. United last won the English top flight in 2013 under Sir Alex Ferguson and have stuttered ever since with David Moyes and Louis van Gaal unable to reignite their fortunes.Following the news on Thursday evening that Mourinho had signed his contract to become the new boss, Carragher believes the Portuguese will have the team pushing for silverware again. The Sky Sports football expert told Sky Sports News HQ: Hell have the same impact hes had with every team. It was a bit different at Chelsea with the way he finished there but that will make him doubly determined to make that right and that bodes well for United. Jamie Carragher reflects on the Jose Mourinho appointment Next season, youd expect them to be challenging for honours. You cant win something every season - even Mourinho doesnt do that. The disappointing thing for United is that since Sir Alex Ferguson left they havent really competed for top honours but they certainly will do next season.If you look of his time at Chelsea, he said it would take them 12 months and that he should be judged in the second season. It will be similar at United. Theyve got a chance of winning the league in his first season but they would have to bring in the right players in the summer. Jose Mourinho has been appointed as the Man Utd boss Theres no doubt that in 12 months hell be turning that squad into title challengers and after a year then maybe even title winners. The next season they could still win of course - you cant put that past Jose Mourinho.Asked if the former Real Madrid boss had a point to prove, Carragher added: Yes I think so. Hes a very competitive man and hes always got a point to prove in every job.He wasnt used to what happened last season at Chelsea - nobody was used to seeing that - but he will be so determined to put that right and thats something to worry about for rest of the Premier League. Thierry Henrys verdict on Jose This is a new era for Man United, says Thierry Henry Mourinho is likely to be handed a large budget to restore the Old Trafford team to winnings ways and Carragher does not believe a huge overhaul is needed.For United, its never as bad as it seems, the former Liverpool defender said. They were close to a top-four spot and won the FA Cup. They are not that far away.Two or three top players can make a massive difference At Chelsea, Mourinho brought in Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa and he took the team to another level. Three or four additions would put them well on the way.One big positive to come out of Van Gaals two-year reign was the introduction of academy players, with Marcus Rashford in particular a blossoming talent who is now set for his England debut. Mourinho and Man Utd in quotes What Jose Mourinho and Manchester United have said about each other over the years Asked if Rashford should fear the arrival of Mourinho, Carragher said: As a young player, youre always concerned and Van Gaal thought highly of him.But now hes got to prove himself again. But if he continues in the same vein of form, he will be fine. The way hes playing, you cant leave him out no matter who the manager is.The most important thing is for United is to start competing for trophies and theres no one better on the market for doing that than Jose Mourinho.

Paul Coffey Jersey . -- Without Carey Price, the run for a first Stanley Cup in 21 years got steeper and longer for the Montreal Canadiens.TORONTO -- How young will Vancouvers starting lineup be Wednesday for the first leg of the Amway Canadian Championship semifinal against Toronto FC? "Younger than young," Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson said with a smile. "Because my first-team squad is young anyway so its a little bit younger than that. "I want to give the opportunity to some of the younger players Ive got in my squad to see how close they are to being ready. Theyve got great, fantastic ability but the only way they can learn is by challenging them in certain game situations and I think (Wednesday) is a perfect example for them to get given the opportunity. "Ive got 100 per cent faith in them." FC Edmonton hosts the defending champion Montreal Impact in the other first-leg semifinal Wednesday. Edmonton advanced by dispatching Ottawa Fury FC 3-1 on aggregate in a battle of North American Soccer League teams. Theres likely more than national pride at stake for Vancouver in showcasing the young Canadians. The Whitecaps (3-2-4) are coming off a 3-2 home win over the San Jose Earthquakes. Facing a game in Columbus on Saturday, it makes sense to rest some starters with three games in a week. So Robinson, who brought 26 players on the road trip, plans to give Canadian youth a chance with starts for 17-year-old goalkeeper Marco Carducci and 20-year-old midfielder Bryce Alderson. Midfielder Russell Teibert, a 21-year-old who already has 46 MLS appearances under his belt, will also start and Robinson is expected to have other young Canadian talent such as teenage midfielders Marco Bustos and Kianz Froese, in his matchday 18. Carducci, who has twice been named Canadian Under-17 Player of the Year, starts ahead of No. 2 keeper Paolo Tornaghi. "Im going to be very excited," Carducci said Tuesday when asked what his emotions will be come kickoff. Robinson speaks glowingly about his young keeper, a Calgary native who played for Canada at the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup. "Hes brilliant," said the former Welsh international, praising his commitment, work ethic and temperament. Alderson is also bubbling with excitement. "Its huge," said Alderson, who captained Canada at the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup and has played for the Olympic team in qualifying. A native of Kitchener, Ont., he grew up supporting Toronto FC. Now he is trying to find tickets for family and friends to see him play against them at BMO Field. Its also a home showcase for Teibert, a native of Niagara Falls, Ont., and former member of thhe Toronto FC Academy.dddddddddddd "It means a lot," he said. "Its a Canadian championship and we havent been the best team in Canada just yet. Hopefully this is the year." Robinson plans to save his starting centre backs Jay DeMerit and Andy OBrien for Saturdays game in Columbus. Johnny Leveron and Carlyle Mitchell, who have deputized for the two veterans before, will likely take over Wednesday. The Whitecaps also recalled striker Omar Salgado from the Charleston Battery of USL Pro on Tuesday. Salgado will be available for Wednesdays game. Toronto has the weekend off so is facing less of a short-term fixture crunch. And given it is only now returning to a full roster after a slew of injuries, the chance to give the first team more time to play together is welcome. Still manager Ryan Nelsen plans to give goalie Joe Bendik his first start of the season, opting to rest Brazilian No. 1 Julio Cesar. That opens the door for Bendik, who started 33 games for Toronto last season before losing his job to Cesar this year. Midfielder Jeremy Hall (Achilles) is out while defender Bradley Orr (calf) and midfielder Jonathan Osorio (charley horse) are doubtful. Nelsen says designated players Jermain Defoe, Michael Bradley and Gilberto will "most likely" see action. "Theyre all desperate to play," he said. Defoe and Bradley have both missed time due to injury so still are finding their legs, the manager said. And while Brazilian striker Gilberto has yet to score, he is threatening in front of goal. "In all honesty, they do need games," Nelsen said. The Toronto manager also pointed out matter-of-factly that he tends to starts a lot of his young Canadians week in and out, with defender Doneil Henry and midfielders Osorio and Kyle Bekker as Exhibits A, B and C in recent weeks. Toronto (3-4-0) dropped its third straight game when it lost 2-1 to visiting New England on the weekend. Nelsens team, which has had widespread injury problems, has lost four of the last five. Montreal captured the inaugural Canadian championship in 2008. Toronto won it the next four years before the Impact claimed it again last year. Vancouver has finished runners-up five straight years.
