Jose Mourinho and Paul Pogba may be at loggerheads at Manchester United, but what the Frenchman did over the weekend shows things can be sorted out professionally.
United came back to beat Newcastle United 3-2 at Old Trafford in the Premier League, with the last three goals all coming in the final 20 minutes. It has been learned that Pogba was a major reason behind this comeback against the Magpies.
The player is said to have consulted Mourinho on tactics. According to a report in The Sun, Jose asked Pogba on what the latter thought about changing the shape of the match, and Pogba laid out his ideas.
The World Cup-winning French midfielder suggested a deeper role for himself and also bringing Marouane Fellaini onto the pitch. Mourinho following this advice, and it paid dividends.

Pogba was at his best in the second half, and United dominated the game from there on, causing Newcastle all sorts of trouble. Fellaini’s introduction bore fruit and United attacked with gusto.
