There is no denying that Pogba had an impressive performance against Bournemouth. In both goals scored by the "Red Devils", the French midfielder left a strong impression.
At the opening goal, Pogba was the first to receive the ball after a corner kick, giving the Hockey to a comeback situation like a practice match by M.U. In the double, he himself stormed down the left wing, before making a reasonable assist for Lukaku to score.
However, for the 7th time this season, Pogba has been substituted. In the 80th minute, the "Special One" pulled his student onto the field to replace him with Daley Blind. At first glance, this decision of Mourinho is confusing because Pogba is playing well since the beginning of the match, M.U also does not have the Champions League or Premier League to try, thereby considering keeping the injury pillar.
But the Portuguese coach's actions when he replaced Pogba on the field once again "destroyed" his relationship with the £89 million star to a serious low. When the 25-year-old midfielder approached the coaching bench, instead of applauding like his assistants, Mourinho pointed at him, signaling Pogba to immediately sit up on the chair, along with a serious expression.
The "number 6" of M.U quietly asked for an assistant in a bis shirt and sat next to Pereira in the upper row.
The above action of the "Special One" is enough to see how he is trying to deal with Pogba after the press troubles caused by the French midfielder. From the underdog with Real Madrid or the "sudden illness" of a few days and needing someone to pick him up, Pogba has lost points in Mourinho's eyes too much.
answered the press conference after the match, the Portuguese strategist still did not give up on losing 0-1 to West Brom. On that boring Old Trafford night, Pogba played like a sleeping dream and made the "Special One" angry.
"At the moment, I still look the same as last Sunday. This is not the face of a person who has just won.
I am still living in the feeling of having to accept West Brom. I would like to congratulate Man City and I cannot deny that under any circumstances, they are worthy of this season's title.
However, I want my team to have at least 10 points more than the current one. It had to be 10 points, not less," Mourinho shared after the 2-0 victory over Bournemouth.
This victory helped M.U maintain their 2nd place in the rankings. They have 74 points after 34 matches, 4 points more than the team behind them, Liverpool.
