BULLS**T: Mourinho slams journalist speaking on ‘Pogba problems’, fires warning shots to Huddersfield

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho was a furious man during his pre-match press conference ahead of the FA Cup clash with Huddersfield Town.

The ‘Special One’ has been a man under fire with reports originating from different outlets in Europe claiming French midfielder Paul Pogba regrets coming back to Man United.

Performance-wise, Pogba has been uncharacteristically unimpressive recently, being subbed off twice in the last three matches.

His treatment by Jose Mourinho during this period has led to increased speculation on his future, with rumors of Real Madrid preying popping up all over social media.

But Mourinho doesn’t like the word ‘speculation’.

In his pre-match press conference, when a journalist asked him how happy he was with Pogba’s perfomances and whether the speculations were true, Mourinho retaliated and told the journalist to use the word ‘lies’ instead of speculation.

“I think you are being nice with your words. When you say a lot of speculation you should say a lot of lies," Mourinho told the journalist. He then asked journalists to be objective instead of reporting what is not true. He also said that he will not share what he says to his players behind the cameras.

The Man United manager was suggesting every story about a rift between him and Pogba was not true.

He defended the Frenchman’s attitude and professionalism saying that he accepts that he hasn’t been playing well.

He went on to slam football pundits who debate on Pogba’s position on the pitch and even put the journalists in the room to task on whether they knew which position Pogba played against Newcastle.

“Midfield,” a journalist replied.

“Okay. We played with one 6 and two eights? Or two 6 and one eight?” asked Mourinho.

The room was quiet.

He went on to confirm that Pogba played in his favourite position, on the left of a midfield three.

“You are paid to read and explain the game. Don’t say bulls**t,” Mourinho added.

The boss also fired warning shots to Huddersfield Town, saying that this time his team will come prepared, unlike the last time the Red Devils visited the John Smith Stadium.
