Football Hot News: Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho comes out to speak following fall-out with Paul Pogba


Sport media have been jamming all round over the fall-out of Man U manager Jose Mourinho and record-breaking signing Paul Pogba in training session and has made it clear to the Frenchman that "no player is bigger than the club". The fall-out was ignited after Pogba dropped a video following Manchester United's game against Derby County where Pogba watched from the stands. Mourinho considered it inappropriate for Pogba to post the video of himself being jovial in a way to make fun of a Man U that couldn't pick a victory over Derby.

Mourinho said: "Manchester United is bigger than anyone and I have to defend that. He's a player like the others, and no player is bigger than the club."

He went further to say:

"I explained in detail to the people that had to know in detail, which is the squad and especially Paul. So Paul and the other players in the squad know in detail the reason why myself and my coaching staff decided to do that."

"I always analyse a player as a player. When a player is captain, I analyse the player by the player and captain perspective. After weeks of analysing and changing opinions with my coaching staff, we made the decision Paul is just a player and not a captain. Decision made.

"I informed the player and the players, and when I was asked before the match on Tuesday I confirmed. Now I confirm and now end of the story.

"I can anticipate more questions by saying the relationship between player manager is good - is not anymore a relationship between captain and manager.

"The relationship is good. Nobody trained better than Paul on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Nobody trained better than him. Some trained as well. Tomorrow he plays, so end of the story.

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
