the whole situation is pretty depressing. I might be old-fashioned but giving Pogba the captains armband in the first games really didn't sit well with me. I think the armband should be a privilege for a great servant of the club, not a sad attempt by the manager to paper over some cracks in his relationship with a player. Mourinho's whole sucking up to Pogba was pretty pathetic IMO. The armband might just be symbolic, but giving it to him over a model pro like De Gea feels almost insulting. The "there's things I can't tell you or I'll get fined" comment after the first game as captain also pissed me off, and his agent causing trouble behind the scenes doesn't help. I really don't care that he apparently was the head cheerleader of a talent-ladden French squad, he's done zip at United so far.
I'm so tired of the cheap Mexican soap opera these days. Mourinho, Pogba, Raiola ... tiresome.
