Senior Manchester United players were ‘bouncing around and laughing’ after Jose Mourinho’s sacking as club insider calls Paul Pogba ‘the perfect person at the club’
A Manchester United club insider has revealed how jubilant several senior members of the first team squad celebrated Jose Mourinho’s sacking.
The Portuguese was relieved of his duties in December after a 3-1 defeat to bitter rivals Liverpool at Anfield.
United had made their worst start to a Premier League season and public relations with the former Real Madrid manager and several first team members was deteriorating.
Despite winning the World Cup, Paul Pogba was seemingly heading for the Old Trafford exit, with Anthony Martial unlikely to be too far behind him.
In an explosive interview with AllAboutUnited, a former United youth team player has revealed how morale around the club was far better after Mourinho’s dismissal.
“A lot of the senior players didn’t like Mourinho,” he said. “Some of them were bouncing around and laughing after he was sacked.
“The whole mood around the place changed pretty instantly but nobody expected him to be sacked, and everyone was surprised.”
“The players you’d expect to be happier, like Anthony Martial, were happier. Pogba didn’t seem to be, though. I don’t think him and Mourinho ever properly fell out.
“Pogba was just becoming more frustrated with the way the team were playing and the results. The narrative that Pogba is bad for the club is untrue, everyone at the club loves him.
“He will have a conversation with everyone, no matter who you are. Everyone has spoken to him, from the youth team to the cleaners.
“In training, he would always say ‘if you don’t know what to do, pass it to me even if I’m marked’.
“Nobody at the club would have a bad word to say about him. From the chefs to the coaches, the teachers at college and all the other staff.
“He’s the perfect person at the club.
“Everyone was always impressed with the effort he made on the United Foundation days. He would always go the extra mile rather than just turning up, and made an effort to make their day.”
