Mourinho to give Paul Pogba second chance

Jose Mourinho does not intend to place Paul Pogba in the summer transfer market. The France midfielder's future has been questioned in recent weeks. The Manchester United manager believes Pogba possesses the technical and physical qualities to establish himself as one of the world’s best footballers, but has stalled his own development by losing a degree of focus on the sport. According to some sources, Poba doesn’t have his head in football . He is not focused on football, he has his head in music, in hairstyle, in shoes but not in football. Publicly, Mourinho has repeatedly emphasised Pogba’s qualities. “With so many opinions – and we are in a world of opinions – people can get a little bit confused, but between me and Paul there are no confusions,” Mourinho said recently.

“He is a midfield player and that’s it. And it is difficult to find a midfield player with more potential than Paul has. Because Paul has everything.”

Maybe his recent performance against Russia has made Mourinho change his mind, but his words will surprise many.
