The entire month of December will be a severe test for Manchester United and Mourinho.
In the league, they will face Arsenal and Liverpool.
And they will face Valencia in the Champions League.

This game is the first game of Mourinho's comeback and is also a key game in the Devils' schedule in December.
In order to make up for the shortage of personnel, Mourinho went to the youth training ground and temporarily transferred 18-year-old Taxi Zhong, who was in the U23, to the first team.
Youngster Damian also returned to the first team again.
Although 17 people were gathered, Mourinho still released smoke bombs before the game.
"You are right, we have a lot of players injured. This is part of the game and part of what we need to deal with."
"If there are no injuries? I'm sorry, I don't It makes no sense to make this assumption."
"Lin Mo, I know him very well, and his desire to play is stronger than anyone else, but we need to evaluate his injury." < /p>
"There is no Lin Mo in the best team in November? It doesn't matter, he will appear in the big list in December!"
"No, I don't know, and it doesn't depend on me. For young people, the necessary protection is the responsibility of the club."
"Arsenal? That is a strong opponent. I still remember meeting Wenger here with Ferguson last season, as if it was yesterday. Same. ”

Lukaku stepped forward and hugged him hard. He glanced at his compatriot, and then his teammates came up to rub Fellaini's head one after another, and the locker room burst into laughter.
In the corner of the locker room, Zhong Taxi was stunned.
My senior shaved off his pompadour for the competition, what should I do?
Just as he thought this, everyone's eyes focused on Zhong Taxi's head.
The young Taxi Zhong felt a malice spreading in the locker room.
At this time, Mourinho walked into the locker room from the outside to greet everyone. He was very happy to see Fellaini, who had been diagnosed by the team doctor.
