Pogba threatens to leave MU, doesn't care about Mourinho
The French star is ready to flee Old Trafford if coach Mourinho continues to banish him to the bench in the near future.
The relationship between the two teachers and students is becoming extremely tense, after the Portuguese coach punishedPogba by pushing him to the bench in 2/5 of the Red Devils' most recent matches.
Pogba is eyeing a move away from Old Trafford. |
Pogba's side immediately responded. Specifically, super agent Mino Raiola contacted Real to rescue the 24-year-old midfielder in the next summer transfer window.
In addition, Juventus can also buy Pogba back for a fee of 53 million pounds. A source from the Old Trafford team said:
"Their relationship is clearly deteriorating. Pogba said bluntly that he does not want to stay at MU if Mr. Mourinho continues to treat him badly like in the past."
Last month, Jose Mourinhosigned a contract extension with the Red Devils until 2020. However, he is still under a lot of pressure to win titles and finish the Premier League season in the top 4.
Mourinho and Pogba are now at odds over the Frenchman's best position, with Pogba himself preferring to play on the left of a three-man midfield.
However, coach Mourinho asked his student to play as a box-to-box midfielder alongside Matic, and to be responsible for defending from the second line when the opponent has the ball.
If Pogba continues to sit on the bench in today's match against Chelsea, it is likely that the straw will break the camel's back and the relationship between Mourinho and Pogba will be difficult to mend.
