Agent on Paul Pogba: Paul Pogba has had a rather controversial season at the club so far, as his relationship with Mourinho is seemingly disturbed.
Manchester United have had a struggling season. The side is currently 7th in the league, and was held to a draw by the relegation-threatened Southampton. Jose Mourinho’s side have failed to win a league game in their last three matches.
Paul Pogba’s situation at Manchester United has also been a major controversy at the club this season. The relationship between the player and Jose Mourinho is seemingly on the rocks after a series of controversial statements from both sides since the beginning of the season.
The situation became worse after a video surfaced online, showing Mourinho and Pogba in an argument with each other.
Paul Pogba’s performance against Southampton was dismal, as the midfielder lost the ball possession on 14 occasions, and there have been reports of Mourinho lashing out at the player in the dressing room, even going to the extent of calling him a ‘virus’ in the side.
Agent on Paul Pogba:
Paul Pogba returned to Turin during the Champions League game against Juventus last month. Manchester United defeated the Italian champions 2-1 as the side completed an incredible comeback after Ronaldo gave Juventus the lead in the second half.
Pogba stated before the game that he enjoyed his time at Juventus, but Manchester United is ‘his home.’
The media in Italy, however, have been keen on the situation of Paul Pogba at the club. They asked a Juventus player’s agent about Pogba’s possible transfer to Turin, and the agent, surprisingly, stated that it could happen.
The agent was Donato Orgnoni, who currently works for Mattia de Sciglio.
“He could come back, but I wonder: then who will leave to make space?” Orgnoni said.
The comments from Orgnoni come after there have been reports that Mourinho thundered down at Paul Pogba in the dressing room after the game against Southampton.
According to Duncan Castles, Mourinho called Pogba ‘a virus’ in the team, and stated that he affects the positivity in the dressing room.
“You don’t play. You don’t respect players and supporters. And you kill the mentality of the good honest people around you,” Mourinho told Pogba, according to the report.
