No he didn’t. But he needed a brilliant player like Keane beside him to cover the holes he left. When he didn’t have that, he needed a three man midfield.

Aye. The problem was moyes. The problem was van gaal. The problem is mourinho. Wonder why the players never turned on the style when they got rid of the manager that was stifling their brilliance. Couldn’t even turn it on for a few games under giggs when he gave them the freedom to do what they wanted.

Id be as gutted as Ive been in a long time about football if we lose Anthony Martial, the kid is going to be a great player. Reminds me of the fat Ronaldo at times. These 2 situations are linked to the favouritism Jose shows to some lads while treating others like shit on his shoe. His man management is shite.

He doesn’t have favourites. You have no idea about the details to judge his man management.

Better to openly air those grievances with the manager than for them to be left to fester in the dressing room

He’s not the captain. Why is he speaking in behalf of the team?
I’d guess this is another Riola story. Knows mourinho is getting stick for the football and is getting pogba onside with the fans in their personal battle. Brave pogba makes stand against boring mourinho. Nice deflection.

He's one of many players who don't have a defined role in the team.

Maybe mourinho sees that lack of steel and is trying to instill it rather than indulge him because of it.

Mourinho says: "You saw the game against Sevilla. It is always more difficult to come from the bench than the start, when a player is starting the game he has a different mentality.
"To come on in minute 15 and get in the pace of the game is not easy and he had a very positive game for us. Sometimes players on the bench take five minutes to be ready. they don'y have strapping, shin pads, shirt. He took 10 seconds and showed the professionalism.
"I think he responded in a very professional way both times he was on the bench. He was on for Huddersfield in the Premier League and he responded in a professional way and against Sevilla he responded the same."

That’s doesn’t say there’s been no conflict. If anything he’s praising his response, assuming there has been conflict. Either way, he’s praising him.
The martial/Sanchez thing is strange. I’d rather Sanchez played on the right of a three. But we’re nkt on the inside. Don’t have the info of what’s happening nor what the manger is thinking or trying to do.

Because it can damage them if they’re not ready. Our best young alternatives are out on loan.
