5 things going wrong for Mourinho and Manchester United

Paul Pogba

This is a big issue. For £89m and for someone who has been at Manchester United before and briefly experienced the Premier League before, it’s just not clicking.

This feeds into the first point and Mourinho just does not know where to play him and who to play with him.

At the moment it looks as though he’s trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, and when you invest that much money into someone, the team should be built around him and that’s not happening at the moment.

The game looks to totally pass him by at times and he looks like a lost child wondering around the pitch not knowing where to be.

There have been some encouraging signs and some leeway should be granted to him as we’re still early in the season in a team that doesn’t have a set style, formation or starting XI, but there’s no doubt this is a factor in the Red Devils’ shaky start.
