Clearly things between Pogba/ Martial and Mourinho aren't the best. Given a choice they'd want to leave and Mourinho would want to sell them and buy replacements. Too late now but this has been the situation from the start of the window and Woodward clearly does not want to sell them.

Doesn't Woodward's decision to not sell and replace them clearly indicate the lack of trust in Mourinho? It's like the next manager could like these players and selling them under Mourinho would be a regretful decision after we appoint the next manager.

Clearly Woodward/ Glazers don't trust Mourinho, its like he's a dead man walking. Makes sense?

Mate it can't work like that either you fire the manager or get his targets and sell those that he doesn't want. If we force the manager to work with players he doesn't want how do you expect him to win.
Dead man walking? Really?

Can't sell if there's no good offers.

Mumbai_Boy, Pogba has been offered by the club, not Mourinho, to 4 clubs and that has been the situation for quite some time now. So, don't see where is that lack of trust in Jose you are pointing towards.

I understand what your saying however that’s just your threory and I don’t think CEO’s conduct business with what if mentality in the future lol, it could be that Jose gave a list of targets to Ed Woodward and he’s yet to get those targets over the line, you can’t always get what you want as Jagger once said.

United Addict - Pogba has been offered by his agent and that is clearly because of his disagreements with Mourinho. There is no other reason for Pogba wanting to leave. So it is down to the relationship between Mourinho-Pogba. Are you really telling me any other manager is going to start McT over Pogba just to prove some twisted point?

Welsh - I understand your point but Pogba/ Bailly/ Lindelof are all Mourinho signings and clearly he has some or the other problem with them. At his earlier clubs he took tough calls with top players like Casillas/ Kaka/ Joe Cole and he was backed by the board/ upper management of those clubs. That doesn't seem to be the case at United.



Mourinho thrives on the siege mentality - us against the world. His stints and Inter and Chelsea (especially 1st stint) he pretty much had all the fans/ board on his side for the vast majority of his tenure, he developed that siege mentality at those clubs. Don't think he has that at United and it is difficult to see if he ever will. All his cockiness only flies when he has the fans/ board backing him, otherwise it just looks petulant and disrespectful.

Or. No club has matched our valuation for either player, and something has to give if they are to be sold.

Mumbai boy, how about Pogba not wanting to be at United in the first place? that's a start on why he would want to leave. Eds mentioned as much and also that United would be a stepping stone.

Well if Pogba didn't want to be here in the first place then we have been well and truly shafted by him and his agent.

{Ed025's Note - i cant see that mumbai, poor old mino raiola only made £42m out of the deal mate..
