‘Don’t ask me, ask him’ – Mourinho blasts over Pogba’s Problems

Jose Mourinho has suggested that it is up to Paul Pogba to explain his inconsistent form for Manchester United this season.

This comes after the midfielder showed class for France during the international break, scoring with a 30-yard free-kick after setting up a goal for Kylian Mbappe in a 3-1 friendly international win over Russia in Saint Petersburg Tuesday.

But it’s a different story at old Trafford for the France star as he’s only managed one club goal since November despite beginning the season with a bang.

Questioned as to why the club record signing has struggled, Mourinho told a news conference on Friday: “Ask him. Ask him when you get a chance when he thinks about it.”

On Pogba’s loss of form, the Portuguese manager added: “It’s nothing to do with his injury. His recovery was good.

“This season and also last season (he had a bad injury). I think he is very fine after the injury.

“It was a difficult injury, it was an injury that other players, other clubs, other medical assessments – they end in surgery.

“I think he is more than fine in relation to his recovery from the injury, which is an area sometimes where you have a recurrence. In his case, not at all.”

Mourinho then made it clear there is nothing more he can do to help the 24-year-old midfielder.

“I work. It’s the only thing I can do. I cannot do anything else,” he said.

Meanwhile, United manager said he will not seek to sign a centre forward at the end of the season to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who left Old Trafford last week to join LA Galaxy.

“We have Lukaku and Marcus as No 9s,” he said.

“Alexis can play as a striker, Martial can play as a striker. So we have three more players who can play as a nine.

“If we don’t have Lukaku for whatever reasons, we can change a system and play with a two, and give more mobility to, for example, Marcus and Martial together, Marcus and Alexis together. So we are not going to go for another No 9.”
