Premier League 2018-19: 3 Manchester United players who may benefit from Jose Mourinho's sacking

#2 Paul Pogba

Pogba could receive a fresh start since Mourinho has been sacked

For a long period of time, the French midfielder was at loggerheads with Mourinho. It has been evident for a while now that only one could stay at the club, and the other would be forced to leave.

Eventually, it was the manager who left.

From the training ground incident to publicly criticizing Pogba in front of the media, Mourinho didn't seem to have any trust in the midfielder. That lack of trust has severely impacted the reputation of both the manager and the player.

Everyone knows what the former Juventus player is capable of. He helped France win the World Cup in Russia just a few months ago, but somehow, he was not succeeding under Mourinho's system.

Now that the 55-year-old has left, Pogba could be better utilized by the new person in charge, and the atmosphere in the training ground should be less tense.

Earlier today, the Frenchman posted a cryptic tweet before deleting it, which seemed to be aiming a dig at his former manager. That shows the joy Pogba is experiencing at the news that Mourinho had been sacked.
