Man Utd news: Jose Mourinho has helped Paul Pogba by doing THIS – Fabio Capello

Pogba and Mourinho had a public fall-out earlier in the season, with the Frenchman stripped of the Manchester United vice-captaincy after questioning his boss’s tactics following a 1-1 draw with Wolves.

He has also struggled to find consistent form since moving back to the club in a record-breaking £89million switch from Juventus in August 2016.

However, Capello thinks Mourinho’s treatment will pay dividends in the future.

“It wasn’t easy for Pogba to get used to English football,” Capello told Italian newspaper La Stampa.

“He’d only experienced it at youth level. Today he’s more involved, and in that respect Mourinho’s jabs have helped him.”

Pogba is preparing to return to Turin when United face Juventus in the Champions League win Wednesday night.

United are desperate for a result after losing the reverse fixture at Old Trafford 1-0.

And Capello thinks Mourinho’s side have a big job on their hands against a team who are yet to lose in any competition in the current campaign.

“Manchester United can count on the structure of their team, the experience and the quality of their champions,” he added.

“United deserve the utmost respect and remain an opponent to be feared, but at Old Trafford Juventus impressed with their personality and conviction.

“Are they favourites to win the competition? It’s early.

“What we can say is that Juventus have shown they’ve got a Champions League mentality, tackling the big European commitments with conviction and relaxation.”

United are currently second in Group H with four points – five behind leaders Juve.

The Italian giants can secure top spot with a victory on Wednesday.

Third-place Valencia, who are two points behind United, face minnows Young Boys on matchday four.
