I can only sympathize with Pogba so much

The point being a player doesn't choose his fee, so had United paid £1m for him (or even never sold him) then the issue of his fee would not be talked about and isn't really his problem.

He potentially seems like a very good Man Utd manager. Develops young players (Martial knows him already), the Monaco team who won the title played a very Fergie-like 4-4-2, it fits on the surface. And Luis Campos would be a terrific get, just what you need

But either way you're just wasting time with Mourinho there, he's not gunna turn it round and he's never gunna have the kind of power to truly get a chance too now. You should be decisive and get rid.

I don't care about his relationship with the manager. It's clear to see he does what he wants on the pitch anyway. If he was capable of controlling/influencing a game he would do it, manager or no just to spite his tactical instructions but he isn't.

I'd seriously consider the combination many Chelsea fans wanted last summer before we got Sarri. Replace Mourinho with Jardim on a six month contract, and if you like what you see the reminder of the season expand his deal and bring in Luis Campos as DoF to assist him (the man behind building Monaco's Ligue 1 winning team).

I like the idea of Jardim. Don't agree about the 6 month thing though. It would be completely unfair to judge anyone on the remainder of this complete mess of a season.

Won't happen though. If we were going to go for him I think we would have done so by now.

Have to agree with this. If the class and desire was there, he’d be far more instrumental despite instructions.

“Sell him and reinvest it in young hungry players”

Hungary haven’t looked lively for 65 years since they won the World Cup. Not sure why you’d want to invest in their young players now all of a sudden.

I did forewarn a few of the know it alls on here about Pogba's attitude before we signed him.

It hasn't improved from when he was here before.

That was probably funny in your own head.....

Not for me. Remove Mourinho and I reckon you'll see an instant response whoever his successor is. We did, went almost four months unbeaten in the league and that really was a mess, this season for you is an inconvenience by comparison

Would just be to gauge how well he adapts to the PL/whether his management style's receptive with the existing team.

Tbh looking at how Emery's doing at Arsenal makes that Monaco title win look even more impressive. He's proven no mug and Jardim beat him with a much weaker squad.
