Man United troubles: The rift between player and manager stretches further apart
January could become as important as the summer transfer window. If not, more. It looks as if being cup tided is a small price to pay to get out as soon as possible.
Since returning from World Cup there has been LOADS of speculation surrounding United and their most valuable player in the team. Yes, no secret that Jose and Paul have had their difference for some time now.
Before last night’s loss, United suffered to a draw over the weekend to promoted side, Wolves. They again were at Old Trafford and failed the United faithful in the pursuit for the Premier League title.
Although the result was a salty one for Man United, it was Jose and his captain’s animations on the sideline that took the headlines. If you could make up a story of what went on, on the touchline.
It would go a little something like this…
Jose: “Do you know what you must do as a captain, Pogba?”
Pogba: ” Do you even remember the instructions you gave me?”
Jose: “You suppose to be a World Cup winner, but you’ve been more than poor in this game!”
Pogba: “I’m also suppose to be a Barcelona player, but you wont let me go!”
Jose: ” Well it’s me or you, young man!”
Pogba: “Don’t worry January’s around the corner and then I’m out, Jose!”
WHAT THE TRAINING – Shocking scenes at United
Just when you thought a penalty shootout was the end of the bad trip. Now there’s been a training incident between Paul and Jose… Oh Dear!
If losing your captaincy rights and having a go at each other during a match wasn’t enough, the two was recorded at it again during training… Madness I tell you! What is going on? Jose is going on.
Pogba didn’t feature in last night’s dreadful loss to Derby County, where they got knocked out of the Carabao Cup. There’s been a streak of bad things happening since the season kicked off.
United have to choose wisely… Manager or player?
Most recent happenings in training reports by Sky Sports:
What it has led the world to believe?
Many see the problems in the United camp increasing match-after-match. But most noticeable has been Pogba and Mourinho. It’s not the first time we’ve seen the United boss and his chosen vice skipper go at on the side of the pitch.
We have also seen this type of behaviour by the manager. We have seen this many of times before Mourinho took over at United. Kevin de Bruyne, Juan Mata, and Mo Salah are just a few of the names the Portuguese has exiled from the club he was in charge of, at the time.
Like other big money moves in the transfer world of football – this will be up there with the biggest. We will have to keep very a close eye on the midfielder and if this is his final six months in the Premier League and United colours.
