I don’t know but to me Mourinho comes off as a problem in that video to me.

Pogba jobs over, appears to extend his hand to everyone, and Jose just sits there hands in pockets and immediately starts saying something to Pogba.

Jose is supposed to be trying to calm down the speculation not putting it out there for everyone to see.

stupid gongshow. I want Man United back, not this freaking circus.

Mourinho needs to go ASAP. Pogba can follow him out of the door in the next window.

Yeah....Pogba is just a player being a player and throws his Manager an olive branch and Mourinho totally leaves him hanging?

Thats not how managers are supposed to act. Mourinho is just an ass.

How many years left on his contract again? Because so far this is going well.

Alright Caribou Cup! This is firmly the 'B-Team.'

I mean, Matip has been injured for a while, hopefully Sturridge and Clyne dont break and Moreno....yes....Moreno.

I think I saw Sadio Mane do a double-take at kick-off wondering 'who are these people?'

But thats the point of deep squads.

Quite the goal by Hazard. Slava and Locke can now snipe at each other for both being out of the Caribou.

Love this play.

Sturridge shows such great anticipation on this one...and then just completely scuffs the finish.

Oh Lord...I think one of my new favourite players in the League is going to be 'Issac Success.'

Oh yes. Real person.

well speak for yourself.

I'm tired of him and his antics. He and his agent frequently undermine the club with the things they say in public and it's become apparent that they only care about his next big move. If he were a consistent worldclass player, I'd be okay to put up with all of that - but he's extremely inconsistent and not as great as he thinks he is.

I'm all for firing Mourinho into the sun, but let's not pretend that solves all our issues. What makes you think after two years of inconsistent displays and public pouting that Pogba will pick it up under the next guy? What if he doesn't get along with that one either?

Sure it took penalties to beat them, but it doesn't matter. They needed to advance because all we hear is "they need a trophy". While I think the League Cup is the lesser of the four, it might silence some critics.

And honestly, having seen them twice now, Watford is better than people think! They're well organized and while I don't expect them to finish top four, they're much improved.

Well, obviously I was.

He's a world class player. Consistent at the moment? No? But brilliant and a natural leader when allowed? Evidently, Yes.

We don't know if he will get along with the next one but to not give him a chance and shove him out after one window regardless isn't the brightess of ideas. You're suggesting something like let's get Zidane now and get rid of Pogba in January? It's all about individual man management.

I can hardly wait to see Harry Kane hoist that most prestigious of trophies!

Yup, have to give Zidane the chance to reign in Pogba. I’ve mentioned it before,e but he reigned in the biggest ego of them all in Ronaldo.

Zidane doesn't need to rein in egos, the egos check themselves when he walks through the door.

And it not like Pogba was a problem at Juventus (or on the French National Team).

Got along fine with both Conte, Allegri.



Just an absolute trouble maker for the coach...focusing on basketball instead of soccer.
