POG'S IN BLANKETS

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba slept in and had to be woken up by staff who visited his house

Club-record signing did not appear for warm-down session at Carrington the day after their 3-1 win over Arsenal, according to reports

MANCHESTER UNITED staff were reportedly forced to go to Paul Pogba’s house to wake up the sleepy star earlier this month.

The Daily Mail claims United’s record signing didn’t appear for a warm-down session at Carrington the day after the 3-1 win over Arsenal.

Efforts to reach Pogba via his mobile phone failed, leading to United sending staff to his house to get him out of bed.

The report adds that senior players including Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Michael Carrick are unhappy with a number of youngsters’ attitudes.

They feel some stars aren’t doing enough to help United in their quest to pull Manchester City back in the title race.

The Red Devils are 11 points behind their fierce rivals at the half-way stage of the season.

United face Leicester at the King Power stadium on Saturday, and Mourinho feels his side are being punished by an unfair fixture list.

He explained: “We are not the only ones. There are other teams in the same situation as we are and Leicester is one of them.

“We did the simple objective study on that and there is a big gap. There are clearly ones that are really privileged and there are ones that are punished by the decision of the calendar.

“There’s another group in the middle. I know I would never be in the top but in the middle we would like to be.”
