Mourinho wants stability from Pogba

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has revealed that he has asked Paul Pogba for consistency and stability in his performances.

The Red Devils record signing has endured a mixed season at Old Trafford, losing his starting place in the Red Devils squad at one point.

However, Pogba put in an impressive performance in the derby against Manchester City last weekend, scoring twice as United secured a 3-2 win over the Premier League leaders.

Ahead of Sunday's home meeting with West Bromwich Albion, Mourinho told reporters that he has asked the France international for greater consistency, particularly in training.

"I will tell you what I told him after the [City] match," the Portuguese told Sky Sports News. "It's exactly what I told him - I don't expect you to be man of the match every week, I don't expect you to score two goals every week. I expect you to be consistent in a certain level.

"So, if you ask me, I'm expecting Paul now to be man of the match every week? No. If I expect him to score goals every match? No. But I expect Paul - and I think that's the challenge he has to put to himself - to keep a certain stability and not to have the good match and the so-so match and the bad match.

"I think he has to try to keep that level of stability and, from that stability of course will appear the special match with the special performance, like it happened against City. The first thing is stability at training level, stability during the working week. And the past two, three weeks I'm really happy with him."

United take on the struggling Baggies on Sunday looking for an eighth consecutive domestic victory, though defeat will hand Man City the title.
