Critics Envy Pogba's Big Pay Packet

By: Saif

Jose Mourhinio was caught defending world-record signing player, Pogba. This incident occurred only yesterday as a group of ‘big time’ critics all across Europe began to notice the difference between Pogbas pay summary, compared with fellow super players that played only a decade ago.

He is from a working family with three boys and I am sure that they need alot of food on their table each day considering that they are all giants. So I am sure that their mum and dad had to work hard for many,many years for them.

The United manager clashed with the Russian opposition, Rostov, at the Old Trafford Stadium over the midfielder. Rostov said that the player was not well informed and aware about the ‘flak’ coming his way. Despite this, Mourhinio launched a reminder that the player that was brought from Juventus last summer for £89million was not brought to be criticised. Mourhinio accepts that such harsh criticism was expected with the rise of social media and the people of the modern era but he reserved his most ‘slam down’ critique for former players who now shine life in the shade. Players, such as former United favourite Phil Neville, have all been weighing in on Pogba in recent weeks.

Mourhinio said that Pogba’s family deserved more respect. He claimed on national television that “he is from a working family with three boys and I am sure they need a lot of food on their table each day, considering they are all giants. So I am sure that the mother and father had to work hard for many, many years for them”. By this Mourhinio meant that just like any family man, husband and father- Pogba had to make a living to support his family, (even if it was a few million more than the average family).

What do you think? Do you think that players such as Pogba are getting paid too much more than past players?
