The midfielder has struggled of late, and with his manager making no bones about his dissatisfaction the two could be on a calamitous collision course
When Florian Lejeune won the header that led to Newcastle United’s winner last Sunday, it was Manchester United’s recent issues in microcosm form. Nemanja Matic barely moved as the centre-back beat him to the ball while Paul Pogba seemed lost in no-man’s land, back-pedaling and then halting as he realised his moment to challenge had gone.
The two midfielders have both lost form to a desperate extent of late, and Jose Mourinho pulled no punches in blaming the pair after the game.
