Peg and Carlton were clearly having a disagreement during their defeat to Newcastle (let me just repeat that because it feels so bloody good: 'During their defeat to Newcastle'!). So why is he denying it in his press conference? He cannot seriously think he can con us all into believing all is hunky dory at the swamp, surely bloody not? The world and his wife could all see what took place between them both: Peg was berating Carlton, presumably because the French show pony wasn't pulling his weight (again). It happens. Managers and players often have full-blown shouting matches. Players argue with one another on the pitch. No big deal. They wouldn't be human if they didn't lose it now and again. So I don't get why Maureen is trying to deny something that happened in full view of everybody.

With every passing day Peg is losing more and more credibility. I'm starting to think the man might be mentally unstable.
 
Sanchez appears to be a bit of a rotten apple, a bullet dodged or were City trying to hike the price for anyone who had the supermarket trolley dash thinking?
Pogba doesn't become a terrible player overnight, he probably wasn't as good as he had been built up to, playing in a very good Juve Midfield, but if he was on the market at 50 mio tomorrow there would be plenty of takers including (PERHAPS) ourselves, mainly because we probably wouldn't try and play him out of position every week.

Of course I merely meant that Sir Alex, who is famous for his philanthropic nature, was happy to give a chance to a formerly homeless man to make a career for himself at the greatest club in the world.
Others have suggested that Sir Alex may have benefited financially from this acquisition but I find that suggestion to be preposterous.
 
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says reports midfielder Paul Pogba regrets joining the club and could leave this summer are "lies".

Pogba was said to be irritated at not being employed more offensively, but Mourinho said that was not true.

He also criticised "the biggest pundit industry" and said he "doesn't have to speak about conversations with players".


But he added that Pogba "accepts he has not been playing well".

When asked for his thoughts on 'speculation' in the media, Mourinho replied: "I think you are nice with your words - because when you say lot of speculation you should say a lot of lies. Don't be nice, be objective and say lies.

"It's a big lie that our relation is not good, it's a big lie that we don't communicate, a big lie that we don't agree with his positions and his involvement in the dynamic of the team.

"It's easy and honest and objective to say Paul didn't play well against Newcastle but some of the guys they are paid millions, don't let people read things that are not true.

"It's my problem and Paul's problem to improve his performance level, you don't need to be a liar."

Mourinho was also asked what position would help Pogba - a world record signing from Juventus when he joined for £89m in 2016 - produce his best form.

He said it was a subject that was "quite ridiculous to speak about", before asking a reporter where Pogba played against Newcastle.

When the answer came back as midfield he added: "We played with one number six and two number eights? Or two eights and one ten? Or two sixes and one 10?

"We play with one six and two eights. [Nemanja] Matic as a six, [Jesse] Lingard on right side of Matic and Pogba on left side. Do you know which is Pogba's preferred system? 4-3-3. Do you know Pogba's favourite position in the 4-3-3? Eight on the left.

"It happens with every team when most crucial players are not performing. You don't need to come with "we are going to sell him, we want to sell him, he wants to leave, we fight every day, we don't see each other" you don't need that.

"Some people go in this direction, I know their surname is liar."


Protesting far too much
