Lukaku double sends Man United into FA Cup quarter-finals
In short, Pogba hasn’t been able to find his rhythm and rumours now suggest he’s keen to move to Real Madrid after all.
United have worked with the club before with Darren Fletcher playing for the club earlier in his career.
Given this situation, Real Madrid, as reported by the newspaper “The Sun” wants to take advantage and is willing to make an offer for Paul Pogba in the next summer market.
Despite United and Mourinho quickly denying any reports, the Bookmakers have slashed the odds on Pogba leaving.
Ince could be in the team for the match today and his dad will be hoping to witness another good win by the Terriers, and will also be looking for his son to score his second Premier League goal for Huddersfield Town.
Mourinho claims this isn’t true.
“I can speak on Paul’s behalf without any problem”.
‘I don’t have to speak with you about my conversations with my players – it’s my problem and the player’s problem, ‘ said Mourinho, who had originally confirmed that Pogba would be playing this weekend’s cup game. I say, ‘What do you mean? You can’t have both him and Pogba roaming across the pitch, because then you’ll lose the shape of your team. The United manager said these are big “lies” which are circulating in the media about him and Pogba. “Before he came to the first-team he trained with us many times last season”.
The youngster has featured 14 times for the club after making his debut towards the end of last season.
Pogba is a fantastic player and he has shown that on plenty of occasions this season.
United will host Brighton and Hove Albion in the quarter-final. “And the team needs him at a good level”, he added.
But United finished off counterattack from Alexis Sanchez and Lukaku on 55 minutes with the Belgian forward producing a polished finished to ensure United remain on course to equal Arsenal’s record of 13 FA Cup wins. The answer is no, because of injuries, loss of form and question marks over the makeup of Mourinho’s team; questions that have been asked more frequently in recent weeks, in the wake of uncharacteristically shapeless defeats to Tottenham and Newcastle.
Mourinho, however, hit back at what believes are “lies” regarding the France worldwide before he later talked about his desire to strengthen midfield with Carrick, 36, set to retire at the end of the season and take up a role on United’s coaching staff.
