This is coming after former CNN presenter, Piers Morgan had blasted the France international over his reaction to the sacking of Mourinho. Recall that Mourinho was on Tuesday sacked by United following the club’s poor run of form this season.

However, Souness, who was furious with Pogba’s post, branded the France international as a “major disappointment” and advised the 25-year-old to have a “close look at himself” after Mourinho’s dismissal. Responding to Pogba’s antics on Instagram, Souness said on Sky Sports: “Was he [Pogba] referring to something else? Did he know the manager has been sacked?

So when that manager is in that situation it is no good, we are alone. “I am close to all of the managers. “But of course he doens’t need me, he is so strong. I wish him all the best and soon he is going to come back and we are going to play again.” A club statement read on Tuesday morning read: “Manchester United announces that manager Jose Mourinho has left the club with immediate effect. “The club would like to thank Jose ...

The 23-year-old’s current deal would have expired in the summer but will now run to 2020. United took a similar move with their Spain keeper David de Gea last month.

Premier League sides Arsenal and Chelsea have been added easy opponents in the Round of 32 fixtures of the Europa Leagues. Arsenal play Bate Borisov of Belarus, while Chelsea – who won the competition in 2013 – take on Swedish side Malmo. Most of the two-legged ties will be played on the 14 and 21 February 2019. Arsenal’s home second leg will be on Wednesday, 20 February at 17:00 GMT. The Gunners and Chelsea were both seeded for the draw, meaning they host their second legs and teams from the same city cannot play at home on the same night. The timing of the fixture is to avoid a clash with the Champions League games taking place later on that Wednesday. Arsenal and Chelsea both finished top of their respective groups, each winning five and drawing one of their six matches. The Gunners are facing the same opponent they met in the group stage of last season’s competition, winning twice – 4-2 in Belarus and 6-0 in London.
