The French midfielder was dropped to the substitute bench by the Portuguese boss since Man United's 2-2 draw at Southampton, where he allegedly called Pogba a virus in the team.

Mourinho also had issues with United chief Ed Woodward for not signing a center-back to solve his defensive problems and refusing him to sell Anthony Martial after United's tour of the United States.

It is understood that 90 per cent of the entire squad and backroom staffs have lost faith in the charismatic manager who has impeccable record in management.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has insisted he has the full-backing of his players, claiming they were not dishonest with their efforts at Anfield.

United were condemned to their fifth defeat of the season following a 3-1 loss to their Premier League rivals.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?
