The news comes after Pogba appeared to call out Mourinho’s tactics vs Wolves, insisting they were too negative.
“We’re at home, and we should play much better against Wolves,” said Pogba.
When we’re at home we should attack, attack, attack. That’s Old Trafford. We’re here to attack. I think teams are scared when they see Manchester United attacking and attacking.
That was our mistake.
“We should just attack and press, like we did against Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal last season. When we play like this, it’s easier for us.”
Pogba is set to miss the Carabao Cup clash with Derby, with Mourinho’s squad thin for the contest at Old Trafford.
