The latest Paul Pogba transfer update seems to have cemented the idea in some Manchester United fans’ minds that the club absolutely has to sack Jose Mourinho.
According to the Guardian, it seems Pogba’s overall relationship with the club and the players is good, but he wants out because of his dire relationship with the manager.
While it may not be so simple for United to sack Mourinho after they gave him a new long-term contract earlier this year, it seems a large number of fans have seen this news and are now calling for the club to pull the trigger.

The Portuguese has generally not been that popular since he took over in 2016, with the team finishing 6th in his first season and winning just three minor trophies and playing poor football.
His second season was an improvement in a sense as the Red Devils climbed up to 2nd in the table, but they were never truly challengers to champions Manchester City and the football remained uninspiring as they finished empty-handed after defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup final.
Pogba hasn’t really done the business for United since he joined either, but these fans are quite clearly on his side and want MUFC to sack Mourinho in order to boost their chances of keeping the Frenchman…
Basically sums up what we already knew, if we sack Jose, Pogba stays.

We all know this. We all know Pogba loves the club and loves being here in England. He just hates José like we all do.

Mourinho does need to leave ManU tho. I don’t get why Pogba is even being talked about, when the biggest problem at ManU is Mou.

Media trying to turn Utd fans against Pogba. Not falling for it. The sooner Mourinho leaves Utd the better imo.

I’d go with Italian sources everyday over the shit that english media is spouting. Pogba is very happy at United and probably never asked to leave. Mourinho’s football and style is the problem. https://t.co/kFUAfno1nK

If this is True then United must Sack Mourinho asap.
Too many Players underperforming and his best tactic is hoofball to Fellaini/Lukaku who head it to Runners.
