Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes Louis van Gaal will recover from his poor start to life at Manchester United and turn the clubs fortunes around.Van Gaal arrived at Old Trafford in the summer charged with the task of restoring the club to their former glories following a disastrous 2013/14 campaign under David Moyes.However, things have not gone according to plan for the Dutchman and his new club, who have spent over £150 million on the likes of Angel Di Maria and Radamel Falcao in order to strengthen their side, have still yet to win a competitive game this season.Mourinho, though, is confident Van Gaal has the ability to turn things around, having worked under him for three years at Barcelona.He is one of the best managers in the world so I think he is a man with great experience for the job, Mourinho told Eurosport-Yahoo. Manchester United is a big team [and] he is a big manager so I think they will do well together.While United have struggled so far this term, Chelsea have thrived and sit top of the Premier League after picking up three wins from three games.Mourinho feels the arrivals of summer signings such as Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas have contributed to this impressive start, as well as the fact that he has now had a full season under his belt since his return to Stamford Bridge last summer.Its a direction we tried to establish since the beginning of last season, but our squad now is different. We have different qualities now in our players, Mourinho said.The second season normally is a good season for a manager because you come from one season of work and you can choose a better direction you want to go and we feel comfortable and we feel happy the way we are doing things.Are we going to lose matches? Obviously, yes, but in this moment we are getting results and we are enjoying our style of play.Read more at espn.co.uk/football/sport/story Shit u mourinho
