Jose Mourinho’s rumored bust-up with Paul Pogba continues to spiral out of control. The latest reports claim that the Special One has lost patience with the midfielder and is now ready to get rid of him.
This is as written by the Daily Mail. Despite putting in an excellent Man of the Match performance in the 3-2 derby win over Manchester City, the Frenchman has struggled to fit into Jose’s system at Old Trafford, albeit he has showed glimpses of his talent.
And as a result, he has found himself on the bench or being substituted off the pitch more often than he would have liked. There is also the factor of the player’s rocky relationship with the Portuguese tactician to consider.
One stumbling block for Mourinho if he wishes to offload Pogba is Ed Woodward. The Man United chief is believed to be reluctant to sell their record signing only two seasons after they broke the then transfer record fee.
Pogba is not Mourinho’s only target, but he is the highest-profiled player on the Special One’s list. Other players facing the axe are Anthony Martial, Matteo Darmian and Daley Blind.
With Man United traveling to Bournemouth on Wednesday before locking horns with Tottenham in Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final, there is time for Mourinho to be won over. However, he has already revealed he will not start players based on their transfer fees.
