Manchester United coach Jose Mournho announced that his midfielder Paul Pogba will no longer be a second captain.
“The only truth is that I made the decision that Paul will not be a second (vice) captain anymore but no fallout, no problems at all,” Mourinho said.
Yesterday, Red Devils bad form continued to haunt them after they were knocked out of the League Cup on penalties by second-tier Derby County.
Still Mournhno insisted that there was no any fallout between him and Pogba who romours have it that he has interests in joining Barcelona FC in La Liga, Spanish top league.
“The same person that decides Paul is not second captain anymore is exactly the same person that decides Paul was second captain — myself.
“I am the manager, I can make these decisions. No fallout, no problems at all just one decision that I don’t have to explain,” he said.
Pogba had captained United for three times this season when their skipper Antonio Valencia was not included in the team.
During Derby loss yesterday that ended into 8-7 on penalty shootout after 2-2 draw, Ashley Young had been chosen to be the skipper.
Pogba had recently criticized United draw result with Wolverhampton Wanders during their last Saturday PL fixture claiming that the team should be more attack minded.
