Don't even care what Mourinho and Pogba are on about, but do we have a fecking PR department in our club? How is this even possible at a "business" of this level.

I actually think both of them need to go. Jose isn’t working but no player should be bigger than the manager.
The reality of the matter at big clubs these days is that if the manager is successful, players are not bigger than him. If he's a failure, they are. Anyone who thinks we'll be any different is wrong.

I guess it revolves around when it was posted. Tbf its not the smartest move is it anyway. There was obviously a point to the post. I have to say im with Jose on this. If we agree with what Paul says or does is one thing, but theres still a conduct you should expect and i can see why he was stripped of being second captain now.

You're the one who has such a bad post. Mourinho is of the same caliber to Sir Alex when it comes to the club and understanding it. Pogba needed Deschamps to tell him so many things, and he fecking applied them during a World Cup, but has decided that for Manchester United, he would not. Being a fecking world cup winner means feck nothing.
Christ...
Yeah he understands the club which is why he spent 40 minutes going on about "heritage"

Cause you think Mourinho and Sir Alex are not winners? And for the players, what's the excuse for them when they miss a chance? Oh we just gonna create another one? But you're not good enough to create chances, so don't miss them.

I'll just stop there, the team has lost its spirit and putting everything on the manager and nothing on the people on the ground, the players, is irresponsible. There is no magic in success, changing the manager won't solve all the players you mentioned not playing well.
Weird how it's works for Chelsea and every other team in the world. Wierd

I don’t thin he meant heritage btw. He was talking about recent history. He 2was saying Seville were more successful in Europe than United in recent times. And that was true. But everyone grabbed the word heritage and blew it up. As though he didn’t understand United’s real heritage. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t have joined us.

Can someone sum the thread up for me, please? Any actual information?
Pogba might not be vice captain ever again, Jose is a Cnut, Pogba is a cnut, United are a laughing stock. Topreds are cnuts, Antireds are cnuts, everybody is ruining the club. Even the tea lady.

Its basically the same as every other thread on here,

And my final thought - knowing what the barney is about - is that Pogba’s an idiot for sharing that footage when he shared it and Mourinho’s an idiot for picking a fight with Pogba over something relatively trivial. They’re both as bad as each other and I’m sick of the pair of them.

Watched the video expecting those quotes.

Instead it's Pogba pissing about, but just like young blokes do.

We forget these are young blokes sometimes, and often young blokes are immature idiots

It is an absolute joke of a situation, and cannot help anything apart from us being a laughing stock.

Personally think it's ridiculous Mourinho is creating a scene over something like that. Could easily do it in the office somewhere if he really needed to talk about it.

The video isn't even anything to get angry over.

I don't understand what the problem is.
At absolutely worst it's a 1 minute conversation behind closed doors. "Don't post videos of yourself when you're in our stands - no more, I don't like it."

Why he had to cause a scene is beyond me.

Basically Mourinho thought Pogba posted the instagram video after the match and was laughing at us losing while it was posted during the match.

That ended up being the most trivial reason for a problem ever. Why did this happen in front of cameras ? Both could have discussed this BS in an office or something like mature people.

They're both extremely childish at the moment. 2 immature clowns.

Might just be me, but if anyone has been to old trafford anytime you try and post a photo or video on social it will post about 30 minutes late (once you've actually left the stadium cause the signal is so fecking shit)

Apparently lip-readers have confirmed it was to do with Pogba’s Instagram story. Mourinho is asking someone called John (?) when the vid was posted.
We have the worlds top lip readers on the Caf so I’m sure we’ll get confirmation soon

Haha yeah, I did wonder when it actually went live. They've probably got wifi in those exec boxes though.

How is Pogba inmature when Jose is accusing him of something he didnt do? Whats Pogba meant to do exactly? Walk off?

It was in Joses hands to handle the situation better and not get angry.

Not post this unnecessary video from the start. What was the point of it anyway ?

So much drama being made over nothing. Mourinho especially. He knows the cameras are there so why bring more attention? A fecking instagram video. He could've asked behind closed doors if he wanted to know when it was taken and asked Pogba to clear it up. That's it. Why do we need to hear about this? :lol:

According to The Fat Man from The Sun
It was Allen who had told Mourinho of the posting and the time, with the manager then instructing the press officer to apologise to Pogba over the misunderstanding.

The video (with the audio cleared up) and full story is here:

Incident eventually ended with Mourinho making United's press officer apologise to Pogba.

Sack the press officer. Sure as hell we weren't in need of such unnecessary melodrama.
