Midfielder bagged 2 goals in EL last night
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has claimed that the ‘Einsteins’ in the media have judged world-record signing Paul Pogba too early, after he bagged two goals in the Europa League vs Fenerbahce last night.
The Frenchman tucked home a penalty a superb curling finish before half time in the game, and Jose Mourinho has called for a sense of perspective from fans and people in the media who have been quick to make assumptions about the player.
“First of all, in some of your mouths, he goes from the worst player in the Premier League to a great player in 48 hours,” said Mourinho.
“I am not specifically saying it is you. I say media, especially the Einsteins. We know he is a very good player. We know he needs some time to show his potential.
“I know Italian football very well. I know teams play completely different from the Premier League. I am not saying we are better but we are different.
“Different in the intensity, the number of touches on the ball, everything is different and he needs time to adapt.
“He is a self-confident boy. He was not depressed because some people said he was a bad player. He was calm. It is always nice for a player to score, to score at home and especially to score such a beautiful goal.”
