Jose Gives Pogba Advice

Jose Gives Pogba Advice

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has given words of advice to record breaking Paul Pogba. The Frenchman has had a tough time adapting back to life in England, and has been criticised for his slow start to the season. Pogba has made 4 appearances for United this season, but failed to score or assist in any of them.

However, Mourinho says he is “full of trust” in the 23-year-old and insists his performances will improve.

“The world-record player is always a question, but I want Paul to forget that,” said the Portuguese.


“He played in the Euro 2016 final, went on holiday, then had no pre-season. It is normal after the first game he has a little decrease.”

“I am full of trust because I know he is a good guy with a lot of ambition, so the form will come naturally.”

The £89m fee may well be too much to live by for some, but it’s clear Mourinho is confident Pogba can shift the pressure.

Ander Herrera has also praised Mourinho as the “perfect” manager for the club, saying that his presence influences players such as Pogba and Ibrahimovic to join.

“Players like Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic came partly because this is a massive club – but also because Mourinho is here.” said Herrera.

“His way of thinking is what this club wants. If you are an honest player, he is going to be an honest manager with you.”
