Man Utd boss Mourinho scoffs at Giggs, Rooney punditry: You make me laugh!
Posted Sunday, February 11, 2018 by Tribalfootball.com
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has dismissed criticism from Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney over Paul Pogba's best position.
Everton striker Rooney categorised Pogba as a 'box-to-box midfielder,' while adding he needs freedom to 'cause mayhem' on his Sky Sports punditry debut. Giggs, now Wales manager, wants to see the Frenchman deployed on the left of a three-man midfield.
"I had a few laughs over the past week because I heard, I watched, I had a chance to read a few things," Mourinho said.
"I got a little bit confused with some comments from important people in football. Playing box-to-box free of defensive duties is not box-to-box. That's a box in the box and stay in the box and don't move from the box!
"People say what's his best position? Paul is a midfield player. It doesn't matter the tactical system the team plays, Paul is a midfield player.
"We are in a world of opinions and people can get a little bit confused but between me and Paul there is no confusion. He is a midfield player and that's it.
"And as a midfield player, it's difficult to find a player with more potential than Paul has because Paul has everything."
