EPL: Mourinho Reacts To Man United 2-0 Win Against Bournemouth, Pogba

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has praised his players after their 2-0 win over Bournemouth on Wednesday night.

Chris Smalling opened scoring in the first half, before United held off the hosts’ resistance and Lukaku added the second with 20 minutes left.

“The players were good. I think good team performance, professional, controlled, good effort, desire to play, to score, desire to cope with the defensive responsibilities.

“Everything was different, it was faster, simple. I’m happy the result was also good, the players can have that positive feeling. Every player on the pitch was positive,” Mourinho said after the game.

The Portuguese also praised midfielder Paul Pogba, who put in a very impressive performance on the night and laid on the assist for Lukaku.

“I’m not very good on man of the match. Especially because i’m a team manager, but he played very well.

“Against City he was phenomenal but today he was very very good, so good choice,” Mourinho added.

EPL: Mourinho Enlists Paul Pogba For Transfer

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho has added Paul Pogba to a list of players he may offload this summer.

Pogba’s relationship with his Portuguese manager has hit a new low after the former Chelsea boss substituted the Frenchman during the defeat to West Brom on Sunday.

The defeat handed the Premier League title to Manchester City earlier than expected.

It is not the first time Mourinho has lost faith in Pogba this season.

He has repeatedly been dropped by Mourinho this season.

And Daily Mail UK reports that Mourinho has finally decided to let the Frenchman leave the club.

The newspaper claimed that Mourinho wants to sell Pogba, although there is set to be resistance from the United board.

Ed Woodward will not want to sell a player United paid a club record transfer fee of £89million to sign just two years ago.

The 25-year-old midfielder has struggled to fit into Mourinho’s system and follow his manager’s instructions.

EPL: Mourinho Urged To Sell The Troublemakers in the Squad

Former Manchester United captain, Gary Neville, has urged manager Jose Mourinho to identify the troublemakers in his squad and sell them in the summer.

Neville was reacting to United’s 1-0 defeat to West Brom on Sunday, which handed the Premier League title to rivals Manchester City.

Jay Rodriguez’s goal was enough to stun Old Trafford and give the Baggies their first league win since the 2-0 victory over Brighton in January.

Neville, who won eight Premier League titles in Manchester, has now told Mourinho what to do in the off season.

Speaking on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, he said: “I didn’t see it coming, it was a dismal, weak day for United. They started the season trying to rid themselves of these performances.

“Mourinho referred to attitude and consistency, he needs to identify the ones causing those problems and they need to go. I think there will be three or four players leaving and the same number coming in.

“He’s got to make that gap up and it’s going to be tough. Consistency is about mentality and the players fell well below that considering the last couple of weeks.”

EPL: Mourinho Sets To Sign Neymar, Plans On Swapping Pogba, Martial

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho might use Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial in a swap deal to land Brazilian international, Neymar.

Neymar moved to the Ligue 1 giants in a world record £224million transfer from Barcelona last summer.

The 26-year-old has grown disillusioned at PSG, fallen out with his coach Unai Emery and several of his high-profile teammates.

Pogba, who scored twice for Manchester United in Saturday’s derby victory, has also endured a turbulent few months at Old Trafford.

Also, Martial has been used sparingly in recent weeks having lost his starting spot to new signing Alexis Sanchez and has regularly been linked with a move to Juventus.

The Daily Star claims any deal would see United having to trade both Pogba and Martial, plus around £50m, in order to sign Neymar.

Neymar has been sidelined with an ankle injury for six weeks now.

EPL Manchester Derby: What Mourinho Told His Players At The Half Time

Manchester defender, Chris Smalling has revealed what Jose Mourinho told him and the other players that stirred them to victory at Etihad on Saturday.

Manchester United came from 2-0 down to beat Pep Guardiola’s men in front of the supporters in the Premier League.

City also got off to a flying start, with Vincent Kompany and Ilkay Gundogan both netting in the first half.

But United were a different team in the second half and turned the match around within minutes of the restart.

Paul Pogba was the catalyst, scoring twice in quick succession, and then Smalling grabbed the winner with a powerful volley.

Smalling told Sky Sports, “The manager didn’t have to say much at half time as we knew ourselves as players it was a poor performance.

“He said that we didn’t want to be the clowns standing there watching them get their title.

“City have been fantastic here all season, but we stepped up and won the game”
