In case you didn’t know…
Pogba and Mourinho have seen their relationship go from bad to worse in the last month or so. The former sprinkled salt into their wounded association by questioning the manager’s defensive tactics. Matters worsened when the Portuguese mastermind stripped his midfielder of his vice-captaincy. Both of them were also supposedly involved in a training ground bust-up.
The heart of the matter
Unfortunately for the club, supporters and football fanatics alike, this off-the-field issue is reflecting their situation on the pitch as the Red Devils are now win-less in four matches.

What’s next?
Since the players aren’t responding to Mourinho and his tactics on the pitch, a string of good results or a change in game plan that lifts the dressing room morale can claw United back out of this misery.
The Red Devils’ fans, who are ruing over the possible departure of Mourinho or Pogba or both, will hope their star man speaks to the manager and addresses his issues like a professional. Meanwhile, Manchester United will be looking to brush off their recent results when they host Newcastle United on Saturday.
