POGBA CAUSES A MAJOR STIR
Paul Pogba causes a major
stir at Man Utd's training ground.
Paul Pogba has just
over 24 hours to seal a supposed dream move to Barcelona.
According to various
reports, the Frenchman wants to leave Manchester United and has told his
teammates as much. He's also texted Ed Woodward informing him of his desire to
go.
Barca have already seen
a player-plus-cash deal involving Andre Gomes, Yerry Mina and €50m rejected by
United, who are currently refusing to sell.
Quite how Pogba plans
to wriggle free from United's grasp remains to be seen, but it's becoming
increasingly clear exactly why he wants to leave.
One big factor is
playing alongside Lionel Messi and former Juventus teammate Arturo Vidal, who
joined Barcelona from Bayern Munich last week for £27m.
Another is Pogba's
relationship with Mourinho, whose comments about the France international after
the World Cup were not well received.
"I don't think
it’s about us getting the best out of him (Pogba)," Mourinho said in July.
"It' about him giving the best he has to give.
WILL HE STAY OR WILL HE
GO?
"I think the World
Cup is the perfect habitat for a player like him to give the best. Why? Because
it's closed for a month, where he can only think about football.
"During a season,
you can have a big match then a smaller match, then one even smaller, then you
can lose your focus, you can lose your concentration, then comes a big match
again."
Mourinho's comments
reportedly upset Pogba and have played a damaging role in him wanting to leave
United.
It's hardly a surprise
that the 25-year-old has had enough after two years under Mourinho and now the
transfer saga has taken a bizarre turn.
United's players all
turned up for training in their cars today but according to the Daily Mail,
Pogba made his way into Carrington using a separate entrance and while being
driven by a chauffeur.
Pogba was sat in the
back of the Mercedes (see below) and hiding behind a jacket in an apparent
attempt to go unnoticed.
