Sixth place in the latest Premier League standings, 11 points from the summit occupied by Antonio Conte’s Chelsea; Jose Mourinho’s start to life at Old Trafford is actually worse than that of his predecessor Louis van Gaal. Some of the club’s biggest stars are struggling and the world’s costliest player, Paul Pogba, is one of the high-profile casualties. 
 

The 25-year-old told SFR Sport that; “We're going to start thinking we're cursed. It doesn't matter which team comes here, we dominate them, be it Arsenal or West Ham”, before adding that; “Our luck will change at one time or another and it's then that we'll have to take it. I'm still confident because we create chances. It will come. I'm confident in my team."  

The French international has scored just two goals since returning to Old Trafford in the summer and has been criticised by observers for some lack-lustre performances after his big money move from Juventus.
