Mourinho reveals ‘Pogba’s only problem’
Expectations of Manchester United fans were a bit higher at the beginning of the season but the win of the second most important European tournament could still be an important achievement in the history of the club as the Europa League is also the only tournament Manchester United have never won in their history.
Expectations on Paul Pogba were also very high and the Frenchman has had ups and downs as well this season. José Mourinho, however, believes the former Juve star has had a good campaign.
“I think Pogba’s only problem is the price-tag on his back. I hope next summer he’s not anymore the highest transfer fee and the pressure can go on somebody else because if his transfer fee was half of it, everybody was saying: ‘what a buy’.”
“Trouble is everybody expects performances in line with his price. As a midfield player he’s the best in the world. I don’t like to say he’s the best goalkeeper in the world. It’s difficult to say a goalkeeper is the best player in the world. The best in the world is almost always the goalscorer, the only exception was Cannavaro because somebody decided that a central defender can be the best player in the world.”
