Mourinho - Pogba will get better

Jose Mourinho has backed former Juventus star Paul Pogba, to get better and come good at Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho believes Paul Pogba needs time to readjust to English football and produce his best form at Manchester United.




"He can play in so many positions," he said in an interview with Sky Sports. "The problem is not the position. The problem is not the tactical system". "The problem is, in my opinion, somebody that comes from a different style of football and needs this time to be at his best level in football that is really difficult to play, especially for midfield players.

"I think it is really difficult to play or adapt from different realities, but he is a phenomenal player. He has unbelievable potential.
"He has years and years to develop his game, so that expectation and investment from the club is based on that - a super player for the next seven or eight years.
"He's getting better and better and better at every level. That's our expectation. We don't expect Paul to arrive here and the next day to be unbelievable. But the other thing is that we trust him so much that we pass to him this kind of feeling."

Manchester United face fierce rivals Manchester City on Wednesday night for a spot in the EFL Cup quarterfinals.
