The enigma that is Paul Pogba continues to be a problem for Mourinho at Manchester United. There have been constant questions asked over what his best position is and what system to use to get the best out of him.

There continues to be debate over his future amid interest from Barcelona, and this hasn’t been helped by comments from his agent Mino Raiola on social media over the last month.

In the first half against Tottenham, Pogba did a decent job, he drove his team forward, and linked up well with the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Jesse Lingard. However, when things went downhill in the second half, he seemed to vanish, and he had little to no impact on the game.

Pogba is one of Mourinho’s most important players, and someone he needs to rely on in pressure situations like this. For Pogba to disappear like this is just not good enough from a man of his quality.
