Why spend that much on a player and not play to his strengths?
He ruined Mata at Chelsea, then Hazard, asking them to be something they are not.
And now he's doing it again with Pogba.
You cant just stick any player anywhere and ask them 'to do a job'.
Well, you can but when he's shit at it, like Scholes going left wing or Andy Johnson being stuck out there, its no good blaming the player. Its the manager being shit at his job and not getting the best out of whats at his disposal.

He shouldn’t of signed him in the first place then. He wanted Pogba. He should know his strengths and weaknesses. I just don’t think Pogba is as good as lots of people think he is. He’s been a disappointment in England since his return.

and puts his head in danger just to get a FK.

This ain't football

FFS you cant put your foot up at shoulder height and then complain when a player tries to head the ball 5 feet off the ground. I know we're biased Spurs fans, but that was dangerous and Utd correctly got a free kick.

You are perfectly entitled to your opinion, my take was he should not have put his head in there making it look worse

Contrived.

So you blame the player for putting his head at just below head height and not the player for putting his foot there? Okay.

Agree completely. Thats the point.
Surely he knows what attributes Pogba built his reputation on, what warranted the massive fee? Pretty sure it wasn't his defensive qualities.
Blokes a grade A twat imo. Maureen not Pogba..... well..... lol

Great save. United is shit. I wonder how far UEFA can drag this garbage United team in this tournament with sweetheart draws for maximum television ratings.

De Gea keeping them in this - not sure what tactical masterclass this is meant to be from Mourinho but it's not working.

If he prevents Sevilla from scoring he’ll be happy. Wouldn’t be surprised to see this end nil nil

Every man and his dog knows that he's only really excelled in a 3 man midfield, I don't see how that makes him a luxury player or that it's totally his fault that the manager isn't playing him to his strengths.

When you are earning £200K per week and are the world’s most expensive midfielder, you should be able to play in a 2 or 3.

Over the past 18 months, if you compared the performances of Dele and Pogba, it is Dele who likes the the £89 million player not Pogba.
