Garry Neville feels that Jose Mourinho has reached a point where he no longer cares who a great player is in his current Manchester United squad.
Paul Pogba was benched in the weekend game against Liverpool and Neville feels that Mourinho might have lost trust in his midfielder.
Drawing his time at Valencia, the former Man United full-back says there reaches a point where managers face dilemma especially when results are not going their way.
“Liverpool are a good team. They’re a team who are playing a level of football that I called on Monday Night Football this week ‘Championship-winning football’. Their only real problem is that they’ve got a great side coming up against them in Manchester City. But from Manchester United’s point of view, it feels that every two-three days is a crossroads.
“It feels like every match is an event, it feels like they’re crawling on their hands and knees from minute to minute. It got to the point when I was a manager for four months when I thought I might as well pick the players that I liked and that is honest, and it gets to that point sometimes.” Neville said in regard to Man United loss to Liverpool and the struggles they are facing currently.
“It must reach a point when a manager does think, ‘to hell with the price tags and what the weekly wages are, I’m just going to pick the ones I like’. It feels like Jose has got to that stage in his cycle as Manchester United manager,” the Englishman said explaining why Pogba did not feature against the Reds.
