Top News
With the league just starting out there isn’t much in the way of news. However, Paul Pogba has found a way to make headlines. Reports suggest that Pogba and Mourinho are not getting along, and apparently Pogba said that “There are things I cannot say, otherwise I will get fined”. Mourinho however, thinks these rumors are being made up by Pogba’s agents. It would seem likely considering the even more recent rumors that Barcelona will be signing the Manchester United midfielder soon.
