Man Utd news: Jose Mourinho crisis with Paul Pogba among SIX players wanting transfer
MANCHESTER UNITED boss Jose Mourinho is facing a fresh Old Trafford crisis with Paul Pogba reportedly among six players wanting out.
Manchester United boss Mourinho saw Pogba step up as Newcastle were beaten 3-2 in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Daily Mail claim, though, the World Cup winner is still hellbent on leaving Old Trafford.
Pogba wants to swap Manchester United for Barcelona, who failed in a bid to sign him back in the summer.
Yet the 26-year-old is not the only player who wants to leave Mourinho’s barely-steady ship.
The report claims that Spaniards Ander Herrera and Juan Mata was also weighing up their futures.
The duo’s contracts expire in the summer and, as of yet, a renewal looks unlikely.
Herrera has improved under Mourinho.
And Mata has also had his moments, scoring a sublime free-kick during the Newcastle comeback.
Andreas Pereira is also unhappy, the Daily Mail say.
And club captain Antonio Valencia, who last week liked a post on social media calling for Mourinho’s head, is also ready to consider his options in January.
Anthony Martial and Luke Shaw are also both reluctant to sign new contracts.
Martial was linked with Chelsea, Bayern Munich and PSG back in the summer.

Mourinho was even happy to cut the France international loose, having grown tired of the player’s lack of application.
Woodward blocked a transfer then but it seems Martial still has his grievances.
The same can also be said for Shaw, who is only just making his mark under Mourinho.
Whether a change of manager can convince all six players to stay, though, remains to be seen.
