5 mistakes made by Jose Mourinho this season

#2 Not dealing with Luke Shaw, Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba in the best possible way

Be clear, Jose!

Earlier in January, when Luke Shaw looked like he had made his way back into the first team, Mourinho hailed him as one of the best left backs in the world. But soon after that, Jose criticized the player and has consistently left him out of the team.

Anthony Martial has started only a handful of games since the arrival of Alexis Sanchez and the fact that he does not get a run in from the bench on most occasions has left the winger disgruntled and looking for a move away from the club.

Martial has been a fan favourite since day one and Mourinho should have afforded him the time and space to develop into the player we all know he can become.

Paul Pogba was singled out by Jose following the arrival of Alexis Sanchez and this led to almost a month of poor performances from the Frenchman. The worst of it came when he was taken off at half-time against Tottenham Hotspur in a losing affair and was not let to start the all-important second leg against Sevilla.

Soon enough, a potential Paul Pogba exit was being talked about all across England. But Pogba has now wound up his critics with some match-winning performances and has also sworn his allegiance to Manchester United. Pogba, at 25, is one of the biggest personalities in the game and he was always going to kick adversity in the face and come out laughing.

Jose being vocal with his criticism of Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial has not really helped either of the players and has only enabled the entry of further negativity around the club.

As for Anthony Martial and Luke Shaw, it could be a whole different story; one that the United fans will not like one bit.
