Mourinho’s side currently sit top of the Premier League table after the opening three games heading into the international break.
Romelu Lukaku has hit the ground running with three goals in as many games while David De Gea is yet to concede a goal.
No other team has a 100% record in the top flight after the first handful of fixtures with Mourinho’s side also averaging more than three goals a game.
It’s a far cry from what United fans have had to get used to ever since Ferguson called time on his illustrious career in 2013.
David Moyes and Louis van Gaal failed to continue United’s long line of success in the English top flight.
But United legend Robson believes Mourinho has all the right ingredients to help the Red Devils return to the top of the pile.
“It always depends on injuries throughout the year, but as far as I am concerned since Sir Alex left this is probably the strongest squad that I’ve seen,” Robson said.
“We’ve got pace, we’ve got power, but we’ve also got quality players.
“That helps to try and win titles, but Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham — these sort of teams are top-class teams.
“You’ve got to compete against them and do well against them, but I am quite confident that the boys can do that this year and we can compete against the best.”
