In 2016, when Paul Pogba joined Manchester United for a then-world record fee of 89 million pounds, the move was touted to as one of the vital cogs in Jose Mourinho's desperate bid to restore glory at Old Trafford. But, things have not exactly panned out the way their fans would have expected.

Mourinho's first season in-charge saw the Red Devils finishing at the sixth spot in the 2016/17 season. And, while things did get a little better for United next season, they still couldn't catch their rampant city rivals who romped their way to a staggering 100 points in a single season.

If finishing second to Man City wasn't enough, the tumultuous relationship between Pogba and Mourinho got United fans frustrated. And, then came their worst start to a season in 26 years. After seeing off Leicester City in their 2018/19 season opener, United slumped to two consecutive losses - against Brighton and Tottenham. The 0-3 loss against Spurs was also the heaviest home defeat of Mourinho's managerial career.

With two wins and as many losses in four games, the Premier League giants are currently placed at a lowly tenth spot in the points table this season - something that's clearly not going down well for the fans. But, that's not all, there is an ongoing tussle between Mourinho and Pogba over the Frenchman's desire to facilitate a move to La Liga giants Barcelona.

While the United manager is expecting the French midfielder to replicate his World Cup-winning heroics for France, Pogba and his agent Mino Raiola are reportedly hell bent on the move away from Old Trafford. Amid growing frustration and conflict, Pogba recently unveiled his new haircut on Instagram which didn't really go down well with football fans.

Pogba is known for his fly cut, but ahead of the UEFA Nations League clash between Germany and France, the 25-year-old added an infinity design on the side with his classic little bit of blonde on top. He orchestrated an Instagram story to reveal his new 'infinity haircut'. But, it apparently sparked a massive uproar on Twitter as football fans slammed the Frenchman for his theatrics and urged him to focus on football instead.

I wish he would concentrate on showing of his football ability!
