<\/p>\nParames also said Manchester United bought Pogba because of his commercial value and clawed back the \u00a389million fee in just six months.<\/p>\n
The 69-year-old has known Mourinho since he was a child and was the Special One\u2019s press officer when he was at Benfica.<\/p>\n
In his weekly column for Portuguese paper \u2018Record\u2019, Parames \u2014 who describes himself as \u201cthe former spokesman for the best coach in the world but never his former friend\u201d, claims United ignored his desire to bring a \u201cterrier\u201d midfielder.<\/p>\n
He wrote: \u201cIt\u2019s no coincidence that both have already been severely criticised by several coaches.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, some will ask whether the person who hired them did not know what their personalities were like.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes is the answer, but sometimes there are reasons beyond sports that lead the clubs, and not always the coaches, to gamble on hiring them.<\/p>\n
\u201cPogba, for example, is worth a lot in the advertising market, so much so that in just six months Manchester United had already recovered what they had invested in him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, without \u2018terriers\u2019 like Matuidi and Kante at his side, he is worth \u00advirtually nothing on the field.<\/p>\n
\u201cMan United did not give Mourinho \u2018terriers\u2019 despite advice given to Woodward last summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd as a result, we had to see Nemanja Matic and Scott McTominay acting as central defenders against Southampton.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Mourinho had to watch as Pogba became the player who most often lost the ball and was dispossessed, in a single game, in all Premier League matches this season. A great record!\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
