Manchester United completed the record signing of Paul Pogba last summer hoping that the French international will turn the fortunes around at Old Trafford.
However, the Red Devils and Pogba have so far struggled to find consistency. United are currently 6th in the league and last night, they were ousted from the FA Cup by Chelsea.
In the 35th minute of the game, Spanish international Ander Herrera was sent off and made things easier for the Blues. Kante scored in the 51st minute of the game and Chelsea then held on to win the contest.
In all fairness, Paul Pogba was once again ineffective and that is what Man United fans believe as well.
However, Mourinho clearly had other ideas. After the game, the former Chelsea manager claimed that Pogba was not just United’s best player last night, he was in fact the “best player on the pitch” (Mirror).
Here are a few social media reactions, which show that Mourinho and Man Utd fans were in total disagreement over Pogba’s performance vs Chelsea.

I was so happy when Pogba came back, but just hasn’t been the player i thought he was going to be. Not even sure what his job is tonight?

Seeing criticism of Pogba again. Totally unjustified tonight. Was very good till the sending off, barely saw the ball after. Outnumbered

morinho you need to drop pogba he does not play like a player,he is not a game changer rather he change to spoil the game.he is just collecting money for nothing,pls drop him for like 5 game and achieve some 3points and qualify if you love to play him,or else pogba will sack you
Pogba results last night; -1…I’m so mad with him, he plays without vision & I believe his lapses @ midfield coz Herrera’s over zealously earning a red card
most pogba be doing all the marking in the midfield while others midfielder are there or was he the only player on that pitch, are you guys expecting pogba to play all the position in the field please stop all this critics pogba is not a machine but a human being like you, you don’t expect him to do more than his capability
