It is believed the Portuguese boss was given a three-year target to win the title by his employers but he has shunned that target.
Mike McGrath writes: “Nothing but instant success will satisfy the 53-year-old, which he told executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and the Glazers during contract negotiations.
“Mourinho told SunSport: “No ultimatum. No demands. Just tranquillity to play and work my three-year contract.
“The message from the owners and Mr Woodward was this — ‘Get your three years, do your work, improve the team and bring us back where we belong during a three-year period’.
“My message was that I wanted to win the title in the first season.”
