Mourinho stripped Pogba of the vice-captaincy, reportedly because he was concerned about his attitude. “The only truth is that I made the decision for him not to be second captain any more but there is no fallout, no problem,” Mourinho said. “I am the manager I can make these decisions.” World Cup winner Pogba, 25, was told of the decision in the build-up to Tuesday’s Carabao Cup exit to Derby County. It has been seen as an attempt by Mourinho to underline his authority after a mistake by Pogba led to a Wolves’ equalizer at Old Trafford last weekend, a game in which the player’s actions and subsequent comments criticized Mourinho’s tactics. Pogba tried to play down his comments in a tweet earlier this week. But in his program notes for Tuesday’s game, which Derby won on penalties, Mourinho said he was unhappy with some members of his squad. “(The game against Wolves was) an important lesson; a lesson that I repeat week after week after week, a lesson that some boys are not learning,” he said. “Every team that play Manchester United are playing the game of their lives, and we need to match that level of aggression, motivation and desire — 95 percent isn’t enough when others give 101 percent.”
