Manchester United news: Jose Mourinho strong-armed into signing Paul Pogba from Juventus, claims manager’s friend
Manchester United’s commercial ambition led to the signing ofPaul Pogba.The Premier League side’s money men recognised the cash that could be made with the midfielder in the side and paid Juventus 89million for the privilege in 2016, effectively strong-arming Jose Mourinho into accepting the player’s arrival.That’s according to the Old Trafford manager’s adviser, Eladio Parames, who used his weekly column in Portuguese newspaper, Recordtoexplain it took United just six months to recoup the huge transfer fee and also saying Mourinho had other players in mind when discussing targets.United paid Juventus 89m for Pogba in 20166

The 69-year-old has known Mourinho for a long time and was his press officer when he was in charge at Benfica in 2000.Parames, who describes himself as the former spokesman for the best coach in the world but never his former friend, disclosed how United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward snubbed Mourinhos plea to sign a terrier midfielder in the mould of Chelseas NGolo Kante – Pogba’s France team-mate – or Blaise Matuidi of Juventus.France World Cup winner Pogba has played just 15 minutes in United’s last two matches, following a poor display in the 2-2 draw at Southampton on 1 December.His spell on the substitute’s bench is the latest low point in a season that has seen him stripped of the United vice-captaincy and endure a public ticking off by Mourinho.Paul Pogba and Jose Mourinho’s training ground dispute earlier in the season was captured on television cameras6

He is set to play against Valencia in the club’s final Champions League group game, though a place in the last 16 is already secure.And Parames suggested the 25-year-old is being only played in the hope of drumming up interest from elsewhere to buy him.He also compares Pogba with Mario Balotelli, the hot-headed former Manchester City and Liverpool striker, Mourinho managed at Inter.Jose Mourinho once described Balotelli as ‘unmanageable’6

Its no coincidence that both have already been severely criticised by several coaches,” he wrote, as reported in The Sun.Of course some will ask whether the person who hired them did not know what their personalities were like.Yes is the answer, but sometimes there are reasons beyond sports that lead the clubs, and not always the coaches, to gamble on hiring them.Pogba, for example, is worth a lot in the advertising market, so much so that, in just six months, Manchester United had already recovered what they had invested in him.However, without terriers like Matuidi and Kante at his side, he is worth virtually nothing on the field.Paul Pogba won the World Cup with France in the summer6

Man United did not give Mourinho terriers despite advice given to Woodward last summer.And as a result, we had to see Nemanja Matic and Josh McTominay acting as central defenders against Southampton.And Mourinho had to watch as Pogba became the player who most often lost the ball and was dispossessed, in a single game, in all Premier matches this season. A great record!Pogba did not get onto the pitch in the recent 4-1 win against Fulham, but his manager is hopeful he can have an impact against Valencia saying he “is going to show everyone how good he is.”Pogba has had to settle for a place on the bench lately6

Parames added: For the Fulham game on Saturday Mourinho finally showed that he was fed up and left Pogba on the bench. Is there another coach capable of doing this to a world champion? I do not believe so, but the truth is that the team, without the virus, was much better, won and even played reasonably well,” he wrote in reference to reports of the name Mourinho called Pogbaafter the draw with Southampton.The Valencia game, while strictly deciding nothing, can decide the future of the Frenchman in the team.And if there’s a truckload of pounds out there...Pogba will start against Valencia in the Champions League6

On the comparisons to Balotelli, who is now at French Ligue 1 side Nice, Parames said: They share things in common. One of these is that the same agent, Mino Raiola, represents them both.Another is that the enormous talent they both have for playing football is inversely proportional to the demands of a professional footballer.The latest events relating to the Frenchman reminded me of a famous scene played out by Balotelli when Mourinho was at Inter Milan, which demonstrates the professional irresponsibility of the Italian.The day before the game, the coach wanted to talk to the player before the list of players was put up in the dressing room.But Mario was no longer at the club. He had been invited to be a test driver for a well-known brand of cars and left. He didn’t even want to know whether or not he had been called up.Pogba hasn’t reached this extreme yet, but having his hairdresser report to the hotel where he was training for a racing special hairstyle says a lot about the players concentration before a match.And Raiola attaches little importance to the sporting behaviour of the players if he’s not doing well, he changes. And he pockets the fee.
