#2 Calling Paul Pogba out in front of the media

Nobody would have forgotten this yet. It was absolute bedlam. On the day that the media were allowed to watch and record at the Carrington- on the day after the defeat to Derby- Mourinho called out Pogba for his social media activity.

Paul Pogba had posted a video of Luke Shaw, Andreas Pereira and himself laughing and having fun in the stands during halftime. But reportedly, due to some network error, the video was only posted after the game. Pogba had already left the stadium by the time the game was done and that proves that he couldn't possibly have posted the said video at full-time.

However, Jose Mourinho decided to call Pogba out while the media was filming and for a gaffer with as much experience as the 'Special One', there is no way that he did it unintentionally. Mourinho knew exactly what he was doing and this was perhaps the United manager's way of showing the media who's the boss at the club.

Mourinho was already annoyed with Pogba after the player's comment after the draw at the home against Wolverhampton where the World Cup winning midfielder urged his team to 'attack, attack, attack' when teams come to Old Trafford.
