Paul Pogba was at fault in Manchester United’s draw with Wolves (BPI/REX)

Jose Mourinho admits it’s ‘harder to accept’ Paul Pogba’s mistake which cost Manchester United in their 1-1 draw with Wolves on Saturday.

United took the lead through Fred but the visitors secured a point at Old Trafford following Joao Moutinho’s goal in the second half.

In the build-up to Wolves’ equaliser, Pogba was dispossessed in midfield after the Frenchman spent too long on the ball and tried an elaborate turn.

And Mourinho insists Pogba was fully aware that he would have little time when in possession against last season’s Championship winners.


‘It is a situation where the players knew perfectly that they press in midfield,’ said Mourinho.

‘You don’t have much time to have the ball, to turn, to one-touch.



‘You know you don’t have much of that.

‘So you concede in a situation that it’s harder to accept.

‘That is one goal you concede. You have 90 minutes to show a different attitude.

‘And I think we have to do better.’
