I've Never Been Happier With Paul Pogba Like This Season - Mourinho


Rumours were in the air that Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho and his 2018 FIFA World Cup winner, Paul Pogba had fallen out over transfer request to Barcelona of Spain by the latter.

The Portuguese born manager has however made it known that he is so much happy with the Frenchman, especially this current season.

Manchester United manager revealed that he has never been happier with Paul Pogba as the Reds look ahead to Sunday's first Premier League away game of the campaign at Brighton & Hove Albion.

The boss says there are no problems between him and the midfield star, who was given the captain's armband for the opener against Leicester City, and will continue to lead the team at the weekend, in the continued absence of Antonio Valencia.

Speaking at his press conference ahead of the trip south, Jose was happy to set the record straight regarding the situation with the World Cup-winning French star and emphasise the level of respect between the pair.


“The truth is we have been together for two years, and a couple of weeks, and I've never been so happy with him as I am now,” the boss said. “That's the truth. I cannot demand more from him, I cannot ask more from him.

”He came here on Monday, he trained for three days, I asked for his support, for his contribution in an important match for us, when the team had difficulties. He did it, he did it better and for more time than we could expect. When he says he did it for the fans and for the team, it's exactly what I want. It's exactly what I demand from my players, it is what he is giving me.

“He's working well, he's playing well, he does [it] for the fans, he does [it] for the team and that's what I want. I want him to play for the team, which he's doing, and, I repeat, I couldn't be happier than what I am.”


The manager added: “He's working extremely well here. But, I have to say, in his defence, write what you want about him, write what you want about me, but please don't say lies. Please don't put him in a situation where people can think that he's not a polite, educated guy, which he is.

”He's very polite, he's very educated, he never had a fight with me. We never had a warm or hard, I don't know how you like to say, exchange of words. Everything is respected. I have no problems at all.“

The 5 Daily Compulsory Prayers are sacrosanct on all Muslims, who have reached puberty just as the Ramadan fasting is obligatory all physically okay Muslims. There are other factors like maturity, state of health, embarking on a journey, age, among others which are considered before a Muslim participates in Ramadan fasting. A Muslim who adheres to fasting Ramadan, without saying the 5 Daily Compulsory Prayers should forget about getting access to paradise on the Day of Judgement.

#RamadanDailyDigest: Muslim Wives Are Supporters, Not Slaves

Muslims have completed fasting Day 4 today, as they look forward to Day 5 fasting out of the 29 or 30 days fasting; it is important to highlight the roles Muslim wives play in the family. Muslim wives are supporters, and not slaves, and should be treated with utmost dignity. In the religion of Islam, the roles and rights of Muslim wives are copiously written and spoken about. How husbands should relate with their wives are clearly stated. In the Glorious Qur'an, to show the love Allaah has for women, chapter 4 is also called 'Suuratu Nisaa' which translates to chapter of the women in English language. Interesting to know that there is no single chapter out of the total 114 chapters of the Glorious Qur'an named after men, further showing that Muslim wives, daughters, mothers, and all groups of females are held in high esteem by Allaah. It is a sad tale to see what happens in the present day world, whereby some women are maltreated and abused by the society and their part...
