Chapter 331 Pogba Cleanup Plan

Against Feyenoord, the team that once defeated Manchester United 1-0 in the first round of the two sides, Manchester United fans and players paid special attention to it.

In the whole game, they poured 5 goals into their opponents!Coupled with an own goal by the opponent, the opponent was swept away 6-0 in the end!

Ibrahimovic made one pass and one shot, Rooney two passes and one shot, Mata one goal, Lingard who played in the second half one goal, Ye Tian one pass and one shot.

Manchester United's new style of play shows a strong attack power!

On the other side, Fenerbahce beat Lugansk Dawn 2-0.

In this way, with only one round left in Group A of the Europa League, Fenerbahçe has 10 points, Manchester United has 9 points, Feyenoord has 7 points, and Dawn Luhansk has 2 points.

In the next round, Feyenoord will play Fenerbahce at home, and Manchester United will play Dawn Lugansk away.

Manchester United won and they qualified. As for whether they are the first or second in the group, it depends on the results of the match between Feyenoord and Fenerbahce.

As for Feyenoord and Fenerbahce, for them, the last game is a battle of life and death!

Because Manchester United won the weakest Luhansk Dawn in the group, it is no problem. At that time, Manchester United will secure the right to qualify with 12 points.

Feyenoord must win by more than two goals to qualify, while Fenerbahce can securely qualify as long as they draw with their opponents. Of course, if they win their opponents, they will qualify first in the group.

After the game, when Mourinho was asked about the adjustment of the game at the press conference, he said: "My task is to discover the greatest potential of the team and arrange the most suitable players to win the game for the team." The adjustments in this game are just an attempt, and you will see more in the future."

A reporter asked Pogba: "Has Paul been ruled out of the starting lineup?"

Mourinho took a deep look at the reporter, did not deny, and of course did not confirm: "Whether all players can start can only rely on their own efforts, not on the media's praise!"

This response is completely different from the previous talk about other players not starting. Rooney did not start. He said it was not a big deal. Martial did not start. He said why didn’t you ask Rashford did not start?
The media smelled Mourinho's resentment towards Pogba!

It's just that they wanted to continue digging, and when they made a big fuss, Mourinho had already got up and walked away.

The next day, the "Sun", "Mirror", "Post", etc. all published some reports.

"The leader of the Premier League, the Portuguese is losing control of the dressing room, and hidden dangers have emerged!"

"Paul Pogba, Manchester United's bomb!"

"Cancer or tonic?"

In the "Times", "Guardian", "Daily Telegraph", "Independent" and other newspapers, famous columns carefully analyzed the current situation of Manchester United.

There are relatively neutral ones: "Paul Pogba came to Manchester United, a place where he thought he could return to his roots, but he was not happy! The head coach could not stimulate his potential and play his characteristics. The long pass at Juventus And all kinds of sharp breakthroughs have disappeared. Especially in the last few games, he was replaced early, and even without too much game pressure, there was no chance for him to play in the whole game! Manchester United did a huge job this summer. A loss-making business!"

There is a full blog: "How high is the ceiling of Boba? Not many people would question that he is one of the most talented players in football today. He has proved himself at Juventus. But after coming to Manchester United, his state has been declining. What does this mean? In his first game at Manchester United, how well he played was obvious to all the world! From the absolute core, to only playing half-court, and now he has no playing time for 1 minute. Is it possible to find Back to status? I am skeptical of Mourinho's handling!"

The focus of the inverted Bo faction is to grasp Pogba's performance on the field: "Pogba, the king of this summer, is undoubtedly very talented, but that is just talent. If it is not realized as a result, then sooner or later he To be eliminated! If he spends his hairdo on playing football, I believe his performance will improve by more than one notch. His competitive statistics have fallen to a level that cannot be seen directly. If such a person is allowed to occupy the starting lineup Position, Manchester United's only defeat this season (Fenerbahce 11-4 Manchester United on November 2th) is the result! So, do you want Pogba, or do you want to win?"

Under such circumstances, Mourinho was called to San Dezi's office.

Woodward: "Joel (Joel Glazer, one of the co-chairmen of Manchester United) asked me to ask, there is no other meaning, we are very satisfied with the results of the team, just let me ask, for Paul Pogba What do you think about it?"

After all, it is the biggest signing this summer. Mourinho expressed his understanding of their concern, and San Dezi's full name to Pogba also hinted at something: "Paul has talent, and I will work with him." Have an open and honest chat, and then, give him time and opportunity, but if he doesn't improve a lot, then I'm going to take him out of our roster."

Woodward tapped his fingers on the table a few times: "He's worth a lot, and he's just been transferred, so it's not easy to handle."

"So I said, I'll give him a chance."

Mourinho answered immediately.

Woodward froze for a moment, and heard some meaning behind the words.

This opportunity refers to Pogba's performance opportunity, and this performance opportunity still cannot allow him to get a position in Manchester United, but is only Woodward's bargaining chip.So, the opportunity, is Woodward's.

Mourinho has given up on Pogba.

Although a big signing like Pogba does not mean that he can give up just by giving up, but now, who can tell Mourinho's coaching performance is good? Unbeaten in 12 league rounds, No. 2 has reached 8 points!
Woodward: "How much time?"

"I'll start him, at least three games, it depends."

Manchester United's next games will be against West Ham United at home in a row, one in the Premier League, one in the League Cup, and then an away game against Everton.

Then came the away game against Dawn in Lugansk and the home game against Tottenham.

Within two weeks, five games and three away games.

The Premier League game is so dense!

Woodward nodded. He was only responsible for understanding the coach's thoughts. Of course, he also expressed his own thoughts: "If it still doesn't work by then, I will consider renting and then selling."

Mourinho nodded.

This method has no effect on him, and it also leaves a way out for the club, and it also has a certain mitigating effect for the players.

Then, he asked again: "The transfer window is about to start, is there any request?"

Mourinho smiled and asked: "Is there any other request? That would be even better!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

For a club that has already spent more than £2m in the summer, even if they are the highest-grossing club in the world, they cannot afford such splurge.

For Manchester United now, what needs to be supplemented urgently is the defense. The introduction of a lesser-known player will have little effect on the defense, and the price of a well-known and capable player is not what they can afford now. that's it.

However, Mourinho suddenly said: "China may consider it."

He swiped some information from his phone and sent it to Woodward.

"Oh! It looks like you really like Ye Tian ah!"

"Who doesn't like such a player?"

"indeed!"
