6 reasons why Jose Mourinho still faces the Manchester United sack

#2 His relationship with Paul Pogba is toxic

Mourinho and Pogba clearly don't see eye-to-eye

Ever since Paul Pogba made the move back to Manchester United in 2016 for a world record £89 million, there has been debate as to how he is being used by Mourinho. The Frenchman has been used in a number of different positions at Old Trafford, but none of them seems to get the best out of him. There now seems to be a feud developing between the pair, and we seem to have passed the point of no return.

Although there have been whispers before about the relationship between the midfielder and his manager, it came to a head in September after United’s draw with Wolves. In an interview after the match, Pogba said the Red Devils needed to “attack, attack, attack”.

Mourinho took issue with this, and subsequently stripped Pogba of the captaincy. The 25-year-old has cut a frustrated figure of late, and there has been talk that he is targeting a move to Barcelona. It looks likely that United will have to choose between Mourinho and Pogba, and chances are, the Frenchman is of greater value.
