Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho, in his usual style has fired back at Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger and Jurgen Klopp of Liverpool, suggesting that they are at clubs not big enough to have signed Paul Pogba for a world record £89m.
Last week, Mourinho stated that both managers were “not ethical”, after they criticized the big-money deal for the France midfielder.
But following United’s announcement of the transfer on Tuesday, Mourinho told MUTV: “I know the discussion, I understand that, sometimes in football, things happen and the club breaks the record, but this is only possible at clubs like Man United.
“When I heard some of the comments and heard some of the managers criticising that, I don’t think they never have this problem because, to have this problem, you need to be at one of the top clubs in the world. So at Man United it can happen.”
He hailed the qualities of Pogba, but warned that it might take time before the 23-year-old begins to fire on all cylinders in the club.
“He’s a very young player, an unbelievable midfield player with such physicality but, at the same time, such agility, co-ordination, skill. He has everything,” the Portuguese said.
