Thierry Henry has opened fire on Manchester United’s Paul Pogba for his poor performance against West Brom.
The result gave Manchester City the Premier League title and the display was very different from the roaring performance Pogba put on just a week ago.
The France international inspired a second-half comeback against City, but was taken off after 58 minutes against West Brom.
Henry questioned Pogba’s ability to maintain top level performances.
He told Sky Sports: ‘As soon as the game started, something was weird — the atmosphere of the stadium, the team — it’s so weird from what we saw from that team a week ago.
‘The commitment, the desire, and I asked if Pogba can do that all the time, the way he played against City. The answer is nope.’
Mourinho slammed his team after the game, saying they preffered to show off rather than play football.
Pogba was singled out by the Portuguese and not for the first time this campaign.
And Henry sympathizes with Mourinho, who he thinks was poerless to prevent another poor peformance.
‘(Mourinho) was trying to calm the players down and he has experience,’ he said.
‘He saw that result way before we saw it. He had a feeling that he needed to speak to the players during the week.
‘He told them be careful it is going to be different against West Brom and I go back to Pogba: why didn’t you and the rest of the team do what you did against City all season?
‘West Brom outworked them; they wanted to go out and hurt them. After 10 minutes, I turned and there was a weird atmosphere and I could only see West Brom scoring.’
