POG MUST GET MORE FOCUSED ON JOB

the £89million star that if he puts the work in during midweek training sessions at Carrington it will help him to produce more special moments on match-days. Mourinho said: “I tell you exactly what I told him. “And that is that I don’t expect you to be man of the match every week, I don’t expect you to score two goals every week.

“But I do expect you to be consistent in a certain level.

“So, if you ask me, ‘Am I expecting Paul now to be man of the match every week?’ No. Do I expect him to score goals every match? No.

“But I do expect Paul to keep a certain stability and not to have the good match then the so-so match, and the bad match. And I think that is the challenge he has to put to himself.”

Apart from stand-out displays at Arsenal and Manchester City, Pogba has struggled to justify his megaprice tag this season.

And the Frenchman was stunned when Mourinho chose 21-year-old Academy product Scott Mctominay ahead of him in some games. But Mourinho was full of praise for Pogba’s second-half show against City.

Mourinho added: “I think he has to try to keep that level of stability and from that stability of course will appear the special match with the special performance like happened against City.

“But he has to really work for that stability. And to go for that stability, the first thing is stability at a training level, stability during the working week.

“And over the past two or three weeks I’m really happy with him.”
