Premier League

Jose Mourinho has made it known to Paul Pogba that he will never captain Manchester United again, further straining the relationship between the both.

That’s not the case, and we all know that.” Pogba l...

Mourinho reveals which Man Utd players are to blame for Wolves draw

Premier League

Jose Mourinho has put the blame for Manchester United’s failure to defeat Wolves at the hands of his attacking players. Fred had fired the home side in front early in the first half, but United were able to get a second and newly promoted Wolves earned a fully deserved point through Joao Moutinho’s stunning 53rd minute strike. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Alexis Sanchez was particularly disappointing despite being rested in midweek. Anthony Martial scored in the 3-0 victory over Young Boys but returned to the bench for his replacement, who has now scored just three goals in 23 appearances since his transfer from Arsenal, to turn in another underwhelming performance. Sanchez was taken off after 63 minutes and Mourinho was left unhappy with the Chil...
