Reasons why Mourinho will win the war against Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba is at the centre of attention again. Jose Mourinho confirmed he has removed Paul Pogba from Manchester United’s vice-captaincy duty. Pogba was rested for the Carabao Cup third round defeat to Derby and watched on from the stands. Mourinho told Sky Sports: “The only truth is that I made the decision of Paul not to be the second captain anymore. “But no fall-out. No problems at all. The same person that decides Paul is not the second captain anymore was exactly the same person that decides that Paul was the second captain, myself. “I am the manager, I can make these decisions, no fall-out at all, no problems at all, just one decision that I don’t have to explain.” France star was signed by the Red Devils from Juventus for a then-world record £89million in August 2016. Shortly after Mourinho joined the club. The relationship between player and manager has been heavily scrutinized recently. It is well documented that Mourinho is not a big fan of Pogba's off-field antics and also his attitude on the field has also angered the Portuguese Manager. With the recent issue regarding Pogba's Instagram story at Old Trafford during the Red Devils loss to League Two side, Derby County. If this war has to go to the very end, here are two reasons why Jose Mourinho will triumph Paul Pogba. Manchester United board wants the manager to exert control over the squad Manchester United board has long been dreaming about someone to take over the mantle from Sir Alex Ferguson. One thing that Ferguson had done brilliantly with his team was that he always made sure the players knew who the boss was and he kept them in constant check and if any of the players thought themselves to be bigger than the club. Jose Mourinho is one such manager who does not care about how valuable a player could be for the club’s fortunes if his attitude is not where it is supposed to be. Mino Raiola not doing Pogba any favours to his Manchester United career Mino Raiola-Paul Pogba’s agent has been talking about how Pogba could easily find a club if he is to exit Manchester United. This is not healthy for a club with the stature and history as that of Manchester United. The board is surely monitoring this situation and they would have surely noted the lack of reaction from Pogba regarding his agent’s comments. With Pogba who is constantly talking about an exit and also has a bad mothing agent on the other side, the answer is pretty clear as to who we should place our bets on to stay at Manchester United.
