Why I don’t know when Pogba will return – Mourinho



Manchester United coach José Mourinho said he did not know when Paul Pogba would return because the midfielder has not yet trained with him.

Pogba has been out since September after a hamstring injury in his Champions League game against Basel.

Although photos of him at his Carrington training base appeared online last week, Mourinho insists that he ignores the progress of the French international.

"I have no idea [when will he return]?

"Honestly, I'm not in control of your recovery process, you're not training with me, you're in individual work, and when a player is in an individual job, I can not predict it.

"I would hope Marcos Rojo comes back after the international break because he's training with me, but with Paul, I have no idea.

"[Without Pogba], we won all the games except one, two, two, so it's not bad," said Mourinho.

Real Madrid overtake Barcelona as most successful club of all time

Real Madrid is now the most successful club of all time. The champions of La Liga defeated their rival El-Clásico, Barcelona, which already held the title with its many trophies, including 24 league titles, 29 Copa del Rey and five European Cups. But after FIFA officially recognized the winners of the Intercontinental Cup, which was organized between 1960 and 2004 as the world club champion, Real has surpassed the Catalans. The Santiago Bernabeu club won the tournament that disappeared today in 1960, 1998 and 2002, beating respectively Peñarol, Vasco De Gama and Olimpia. Los Blancos has 33 league titles in Spain, 19 league titles in the Copa del Rey and 12 league titles in Europe to support their world titles. Earlier this week, Manchester United was retrospectively named Club World Champion for their 1-0 win over Palmeiras in 1999.

J oshua will next defend his IBF and WBA 'super' heavyweight titles against Kubrat Pulev at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on October 28, live on  Sky Sports Box Office , and is not taking Haye's threat seriously. People are more relevant for calling people out than for actually fighting," Joshua told  Sky Sports . "If we fight, you'll hear all sorts from me about Haye. For now, I wish him a speedy recovery.

José Mourinho suffers another blow when fan support collapses after Chelsea's defeat

Manchester United boss was already under pressure after mediocre results and Lukaku with his supporters. But Sun's exclusive investigation shows the true extent of how Old Trafford's followers are starting to turn against him. It may have been the weekend that cost Slaven Bilic his job, but it was José Mourinho who was the biggest loser when it came to supporting fans. An exclusive SunSport poll shows that Manchester United's 1-0 defeat at Chelsea saw the number of satisfied supporters of their work drop from 75% to 43%. The alarming drop in support underlines the pressure on the Portuguese boss, who was already criticized for a series of mediocre screens and his attack on fans for criticizing his management of the "untouchable" Romelu Lukaka. Mourinho's approval rating of just 43 percent is the lowest season for him and in stark contrast to 96 percent of the fans who adored him at the end of August, when United was sitting on top of the table with t...

Theo Walcott double sets Arsenal on way to victory at Bate Borisov

To butcher a phrase Arsène Wenger coined many years ago, if you eat caviar every day, sometimes it is not so bad to return to sausages. After all those seasons of Champions League, Arsenal have rather taken to life in the  Europa League . It is not always easy to get the blend right with a reshuffled team, a mix of older pros who are perhaps not getting as much football as they want, and kids desperate for opportunities. But Arsenal got stuck into their sausages, established enough “cohesion” to please the manager, and ended up having the better of a rollicking, bundles of chances, blast in Belarus. Bate Borisov 2-4 Arsenal: Europa League – as it happened Theo Walcott scored twice and Olivier Giroud netted his 100th Arsenal goal in a 4-2 win over Bate Borisov   Read more There was always going to be a question of how seriously Arsenal take the group stage of this competition and it is to the credit of the senior players chosen for this trip, who did...
