Pogba said:
"We are here to attack. The teams are scared when they see Man United attacking and attacking. That was our mistake today. We won 1-0, so it was good for us. Then we tried to defend ourselves a bit more against the counter-attack. We stopped playing like in the first half and we did not really put them in trouble.
"We are at Old Trafford and we should attack and lobby as we did against Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal last season, when we play like that it's easier.. "

Mourinho has 100% reason to dismiss Pogba as captain and drop him.
He may be the winner of the World Cup, but the huge ego of the Frenchman, who accuses everyone, writes checks. https://t.co/DmPo8jil1C
If the relationship between Mourinho and Pogba is the reason for the player's willingness to leave, Woodward will have to quickly decide which person he prefers.
United's lack of performance put Mourinho in a weak position and Pogba remains a popular character with his staff colleagues.
Pogba is right in his assessment of United's culture and the fans are keen to see their team attack with verve.
However, Mourinho's way is to be pragmatic, and if victories do not follow soon, the Glazer family will have to decide to keep Pogba with a new coach at the helm or sell his superstar.
