The Worldcup star Paul Pogba insists his team should score more goals and attack in home matches.
After winning three-game back to back United were held 1-1 at home by the Wolves. It was a frustrating game for the viewers as the Reds couldn’t make a comeback after Nuno’s men equalized in the second half. United are now sitting at 7th position on the Premier League table, 8 points away from the arch-rivals Liverpool.
Criticising the way United have played their home game Pogba demanded his team to play attacking football.
“We should have played much better against Wolves,” he said. “When we are at home we should attack, attack, attack”
“That’s Old Trafford. We are here to attack. I think teams are scared when they see Manchester United attacking and attacking.”
“Maybe that’s the attitude should be better and we should play better because, again, we are at Old Trafford and we should just attack and press as we did against Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal last season. When we play like this it’s easier for us.”
When asked about the playing style of his boss and why the Reds are unable to make an impact this season as well he said: “I can’t tell you because I’m a player, it’s not me.” “I’m not the manager, I cannot say that, but obviously we should show more options of player, but I cannot say that because I’m a player, That’s my way of thinking, we should move better, we should move more.”
“We have played six games in the Premier League, it’s not that we should get worried, but we should obviously get closer, get closer and closer. It’s better for us if we get close.”
Jose showed frustration regarding the attitude of the team:
Jose wants his team to learn from the display of the attitude by the Wolves.
The frustration was clearly seen on his face as he spoke “Not a good performance, not a good result.” he said “A fair result.”
“I think Wolves, by the way, they faced the game, they deserve because they play like I like to play, which is like the World Cup final.”
“That’s the attitude that I like my teams to have every match and we didn’t have that. They had, we didn’t.”
“The attitude made the difference. They were in the game since the first minute, they played every ball, every second in the maximum of their intensity, their desire and we didn’t.”
United play their next game in the League Cup against Derby County on 26th Wed. 12:30 IST. Hope we do better in the next game.
