Mourinho's advisor revals what is wrong with Pogba at Manchester United

Jose Mourinho's advisor has revealed what is wrong with Paul Pogba at Manchester United and has also opened up about what the club saw Pogba as when he was signed from Juventus back in the summer of 2016.

The Red Devils signed Pogba for a fee of 89.7 million pounds in the summer of 2016 and while Pogba has been one of the club's better players, he has shown only glimpses of his real self. The French World Cup winner has not started any of the last two games.

Mourinho's advisor Eladio Parames has opened up about the fact that Pogba was only signed by United because of the commercial aspect and not because of his playing abilities.

He told Record: : “It’s no coincidence that both have already been severely criticised by several coaches.

“Of course some will ask whether the person who hired them did not know what their personalities were like.

“Yes is the answer, but sometimes there are reasons beyond sports that lead the clubs, and not always the coaches, to gamble on hiring them.

 “Pogba, for example, is worth a lot in the advertising market, so much so that in just six months Manchester United had already recovered what they had invested in him.

“However, without ‘terriers’ like Matuidi and Kante at his side, he is worth ­virtually nothing on the field. “Man United did not give Mourinho ‘terriers’ despite advice given to Woodward last summer.
