United: Pogba will be GONE by January claims Paul Ince
Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has been at war with Jose Mourinho in recent times with the duo’s relationship seemingly at an all-time low.
Against Valencia on Wednesday night, the France international made his first start in three matches having previously been benched for Premier League matches with Arsenal and Fulham.
It was, however, another poor evening for the Manchester United star. A miss from four yards, coupled with an abject showing in midfield, did little to help his cause.
At the end of the match, several United stars stayed behind to applaud the club’s travelling support.
They say that, according to one observer, he ‘moved through the mixed zone quicker than he did on the pitch’.
And that may well be down to his unhappiness with both life at the club and under Mourinho.
The duo’s problems are well-documented.
Back in February, Pogba took issue with Mourinho’s tactics in a chastening 2-0 defeat to Tottenham.

He was then benched for key Champions League matches against Sevilla, with Scott McTominay preferred in his place.
Pogba started the new season in fine form.
However, Express Sport understands the midfielder would welcome a move away to either Barcelona or Juventus.
Mourinho stripped him of the United vice-captaincy in September amid fears over his attitude.
