A drop in form has seen Paul Pogba start only four of United’s last 11 games in all competitions.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho suggested that Paul Pogba could perhaps explain the poor form that has him a starting spot.
Mourinho, whose team face Swansea City on Saturday, is confused on why Pogba is struggling, saying maybe the Frenchman knows.
“Ask him. Ask him when you get a chance what he thinks about it,” Mourinho said.
Pogba suffered a hamstring injury in September, which ruled him out for two months, But Mourinho said that the setback could not be used as a reason for his form.
“It’s nothing to do with his injury. His recovery was good,” he said.
“This season and also last season (he had a bad injury). But I think he’s very fine after the injury.
“It was a difficult injury, it was an injury that other players, other clubs, other medical assessments – they end in surgery.
“His option – with the medical opinions – was not to go to the surgery table and his recovery was really, really good.
“So I think he is more than fine in relation to his recovery from the injury which is an area sometimes where you have a recurrence. In his case, not at all.”
