Pogba to push for exit even if Man United refuse

Manchester United star Paul Pogba wants to leave Old Trafford this summer and is determined to push for a transfer even if the club refuses to sell him. Pogba, who was signed from Juventus for a then-record €100 million three years ago, is under contract at United until June 2021, with an option for an additional year which could be triggered only by the club. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); However reports claim that, with United failing to qualify for Champions League and in need of a rebuild after a fruitless end to the season, the Frenchman wants a new challenge, with his agent, Mino Raiola, likely to begin talking to United once the season is over. United's stance publicly is that Pogba is not for sale at any price, though they value him at €160m i...

And with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team struggling to qualify for next year's Champions Lea...

Mourinho reveals the mistake he made with Paul Pogba at United

Premier League

Jose Mourinho has claimed that his failure to get the best out of Paul Pogba at Manchester United was because he did not have the right ‘chemistry’ with the Frenchman. Pogba has made an immediate improvement since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Mourinho as head coach in December with nine goals and seven assists in 15 games. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); During his time at Old Trafford, Mourinho clashed with Pogba and the 56-year-old concedes he needs to improve how he manages players he is not on good terms with. ‘I think the thing that normally is crucial and I’m thinking about all these things in the two months I’ve not been working,’ Mourinho told beIN Sports. ‘You try to always to find solutions for the problems, there is one problem that I ca...

REVEALED: United owe over £100m unpaid transfer fees and are still paying for Lukaku and Pogba

Premier League

Manchester United still owe more than £100million in transfer fees, but the club are only operating by the same rules as the rest of the big clubs. And United insist the transfer debt will have no impact on their January window business activity. Financial figures released by the club showed they owed a stunning £258m on previous signings at the end of June. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); That is because, like most of their rivals, majority of transfers see payments staged by clubs over the length of the new deal signed by the player being sold. It means that the full £89m fee for Paul Pogba’s return to United from Juventus was not paid up front but will be split over the five years of his initial contract at the club. United have spent a total £...

Pogba slams Mourinho’s style of football after United win over Tottenham

Premier League

Paul Pogba provided some fascinating insight into how things have changed for him at Man Utd since Ole Gunnar Solksjaer took over from Jose Mourinho. The France international was struggling to hit top form in the first part of the season, as he was even dropped to the bench on occasion by Mourinho prior to the Portuguese tactician’s exit last month. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Since Solskjaer was appointed interim manager, Pogba has contributed four goals and four assists in his last five Premier League games, with United going on to win all those five matches. As noted by The Guardian, the Frenchman even admitted at the start of the campaign that he wasn’t happy, but clearly now playing in his favoured role and flourishing. “I am enjoying pla...

Pogba deletes cryptic tweet after Mourinho sack

Premier League

Paul Pogba has deleted an ill-timed social media post that was shared less than an hour after Jose Mourinho's sacking as Manchester United head coach. The France international removed the posts - that asked his followers to caption an image of him with a wry smile - soon after he posted them. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); That didn't stop Gary Neville getting involved, however, with the former United right-back, seemingly reacting to Pogba's tweet, writing on his own Twitter account: "'Caption this'... you do one as well!" Mourinho's exit as United manager was confirmed just before 10.00 (GMT) on Tuesday morning, with the Red Devils having made a poor start to the 2018-19 season.
