da dobrowin: Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has told Paul Pogba to forget about his world-record transfer fee and instead focus at what he does best.
da betsul: The France international returned to Old Trafford this summer for an astronomical fee after spening four years at Juventus in Italy.
Pogba had an impressive reintroduction with the Red Devils but has looked decidedly off the pace, especially against cross-town rivals Manchester City in the recent derby clash.
Mourinho has stated that he is not worries about the French midfielder’s form and knows that he will come good – but only after he dispels thoughts about his transfer fee.
“The world-record player is always a question that will be open until somebody breaks the record,” The Guardian quote the United boss as saying.
“There are clubs that paid 20, 30, 40 million, which is a bigger deal than United paid for Paul because you make a relation between what you pay and the club revenue and you realise that other clubs paying 20, 30, 40 is a much bigger thing than what United did.
“I just want Paul to forget that and to play his football. No pre-season; [after the] Euro final, holidays then come back. It’s normal that in the first week he had the very good impact in the first game.
“It’s normal that after the first game he has a little decrease. But I am full of trust with him because I know the player he is.
“I know he is a very good guy with a lot of ambition so the form will come naturally and will come with the team improving. The team improves, he will improve – no problem.”
Pogba played in his side’s disappointing 1-0 defeat to Feyenoord in the Europa League on Thursday night but failed to make an impact at De Kuip.
United take on Watford at Vicarage Road on Sunday and Mourinho will hope that his side can break the losing streak and keep pace with the Premier League’s pace-setters.
