Jose Mourinho to replace Paul Pogba’s captaincy duties?
Jose Mourinho has reportedly decided that he will not let Paul Pogba captain the Red Devils ever again. Here’s a perspective about the rumour.
According to ESPN FC, rumours are emerging on Tuesday that Manchester United manager Paul Pogba has been stripped off captaincy duties in the backwash of his comments after the Red Devils’ draw versus Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.
The Frenchman aimed a foreseeable dig at the United boss following the team’s stalemate last Saturday. Pogba said that the team needs to attack more often and it looks like the comments have not gone down well under Jose’s eyes.
This is not the first time Pogba has commented and though they have not collected good feedback from Mourinho, they do make proper sense. Subsequent to Manchester United’s loss against Brighton & Hove Albion in the second match day of the Premier League, he questioned the team’s attitude.

Opinion
Though Manchester United have other worthy and leader-like players in the shape of Ashley Young, Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera, it will be harsh on Mourinho’s part to relieve Pogba of his captain’s authority.
It will show yet again about the self-centred and egoistic person that Jose Mourinho is in spite of Paul’s comments making utter sense. Though, these are just reports, it remains to see what will happen once we see the Reds walking out onto the pitch in their subsequent fixtures.
