Former Arsenal striker Wright sees Mourinho’s men kicking on from this point, with summer signings having found their feet and answers found to previously problematic questions at the back.He told BBC Radio 5 Live: “United didn’t start off brilliantly and they’ve been trying to get themselves going. “Mourinho was working out his best team and who was going to play where. He’s got something with [Marcos] Rojo and [Phil] Jones at the back. Pogba is playing brilliantly. I think Mkhitaryan is the long-term replacement for Wayne Rooney. “You know that with the quality of players they have, now they’ve got it going, you have to say Man United will be in and around it [at the end of the season].” The Red Devils are still sat sixth in the Premier League standings at present, but are now just four points adrift of Arsenal in fourth.Their next outing sees them welcome Middlesbrough to Old Trafford on New Year’s Eve, with Mourinho set to lock coaching horns with his former Real Madrid assistant Aitor Karanka.</blockquote>
