Paul Pogba's error for Man United shows Jose Mourinho was right two years ago

Footage from the loss to Mourinho’s current side, though, suggests the ex-United manager was right about the midfielder in his criticism.

The Frenchman was also part of a 2-0 loss to Spurs at Wembley Stadium in January 2018, with the 57-year-old in the hot seat.

And a moment was seen where the then-United boss laid into his midfielder for not covering his defence and tracking back.

Pogba was then taken off on 63 minutes for Juan Mata after Mourinho lost patience with his £89m man.

Coming up against Mourinho and his Spurs side at Old Trafford this month, the Frenchman’s criticisms from the Portuguese boss were exposed again.

In the second half, with the north London side already 4-1 up, the midfielder was seen on the left wing – but he did not pick up Serge Aurier’s run.

With Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg picking him up the Ivorian’s run, Pogba finds himself too far away to put any pressure on the full-back for his goal.

And it sees him pull back from putting any pressure on the Spurs man as he drives into the back of the net.

It comes as Madrid have responded to the United midfielder’s comments about a “dream” transfer to Spain.

While the Frenchman faced off against team-mate Bruno Fernandes in the Nations League match against Portugal.
