He can also call on the world’s most expensive signing Paul Pogba against Southampton after confirming that the 89 million pound ($117.12 million) midfielder is available. “90 minutes? I don’t believe”. Super performance? I don’t believe.
The Red Devils began the season with an emphatic 3-1 win over Bournemouth in their opening game, and they’ll look to maintain their positive start on Friday.
Paul Pogba is a little under 24 hours away from making his second debut for Manchester United. “He needs time to build his condition and his understanding of the way the team plays or tries to play”.
“I think everything starts there”.
Meanwhile, the former Real boss’ first singing, Eric Bailly, has proven a revelation at the heart of the United defence since his arrival – an athletic, powerful operator who has drawn immediate comparisons with Nemanja Vidic.
Jose Mourinho has “no doubt” that striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be at Manchester United for two years.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic put pen to paper on a one-year contract with Manchester United in July, but manager Jose Mourinho is already certain the striker will stay for two seasons. “I ask about his family, his wife, his kids – I know how important these things are to him”. His motivation is really high. The relation between the team and the fans. It means that there is no connection between the team and the supporters. He thinks the noise has disappeared in the three years since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure, owing largely to the diminishing “relationship between the team and the fans”.

“The way the team plays and the way the team behaves, that includes the mental approach, if the fans they feel that connection and if the fans play, there is no chance for the opponent”.
