Jose Mourinho crossed the line when he stripped off Paul Pogba’s vice-captaincy at Manchester United and apparently, the manager in front of all the members of the team in United’s dressing room told Pogba that he would never ever become the captain of the Red Devils.
Jose Mourinho crossed the line when he stripped off Paul Pogba’s vice-captaincy at Manchester United and apparently, the manager in front of all the members of the team in United’s dressing room told Pogba that he would never ever become the captain of the Red Devils.
According to media reports, Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, is preparing for a winter move to Barcelona. He earlier had tried this move in Summer as well but it somehow didn’t happen. However, Pogba’s agent now looks to be confident to get his client a place at Camp Nou in the soon future.
The reports also added that because of the recent turn of events, Pogba does not want to work with Mourinho anymore and wants to switch his club as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Mourinho refused to explain as to why he chose to make such a harsh call on Pogba.
"The same person that decides Paul is not the second captain anymore is exactly the same person that decides Paul was the second captain -- myself. "I am the manager, I can make these decisions. No fallout, no problems at all just one decision that I don’t have to explain," he said.
Pogba has been United's stand-in captain for three games when regular skipper Antonio Valencia has been missing.
England wing-back Ashley Young was named the captain for the Derby game at Old Trafford, which United lost 8-7 in a shootout after a 2-2 draw to exit in the third round.
Pogba was critical of United's tactics in Saturday's 1-1 Premier League draw at home to Wolverhampton Wanders, saying the team should be more attack-minded.
The midfielder moved to Old Trafford in 2016 from Juventus in a $114 million transfer deal and has been linked by the media with another big-money move, to Barcelona.
In August, Pogba said that he feared he would be fined if he spoke about his feelings at United.
Mourinho said United had paid the price against Derby for failing to take their chances during spells of dominance, having taken the lead in the third minute.
"It happened that we didn’t score when we could in the first half," he said.
"We had situations to kill it, we didn’t and at halftime, I repeated basically the same words I repeated in the last match that their dressing room was for sure a dressing room with belief because the result was open and they were playing quite well.
"And we need to go and kill the game which we didn’t."
