If Pogba is the ‘virus’, what is United’s antidote?

If Manchester United’s squad were called out in public by Mourinho, Pogba was privately admonished. A source claimed that Pogba was called a “virus” by his manager in front of the other players, telling the Frenchman that he “kills the mentality of the good, honest people around you”.

David Moyes can tell you how hard it is to follow a dynastical manager, but Emery was inheriting a squad that had been watermarked by Arsene Wenger’s decline. While Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, Maurizio Sarri and Jurgen Klopp would be given significant funds to improve their teams, Emery was never likely to be afforded such luxury.
