back in the tea m job is to get paul pogba back in the team and playing in the way he is capable.? there are excited that they form a legend coming back to the club, the fans are excited, but he is saying the right things, a stark contrast to the way mourinho has been speaking. here is a man saying how good the players and the club are and how good it will be for them in the next six months. let's see if he can pull it off. he said some of these things when he took over cardiff, and they remember what happened then, and they were relegated. he came in when we we re they were relegated. he came in when we were struggling and there was a lot of turmoil in our club regarding the players he bought. i don't think they were right for the club, and it didn't work out. he's too nice. personally i didn't think he was a good appointment he struggled here. he had a bit of success, but he's not really shown that he is capable of managing a premier league club, i'm not sure it's a good appointment for them. brilliant guy, and a couple of conversations with him, really nice guy, but he didn't s

which is paul pope but now suspiciously or perhaps not as soon as the announcement was made today paul pogba actually sent a tweet from his personal accounts with a smirk on his face which was removed almost immediately and the club came out and said oh it was a prescheduled marketing suite it was nothing to do with paul pogba personally be you have to say that was rather suspicious timing yeah or poor timing if there were you know so how will he be remembered martin you're the special one what exactly i mean a lot of fans were expecting so much when he came to the club finally the special manager who at least believed that he had the ability to restore the club you know the top table of european when it hasn't worked out like that however he did win a couple of trophies in his first year and he has cemented his reputation in my opinion at least as a manager for the short time he won the league cup and the road played he's not a silver tongued winning machine anymore they can bring success in the short term hartwell let's let's focus now on manchester united and you know what way forward now

there is two men have not been getting on, paul pogba has not been getting on, paul pogba has not beenn who has lost out. just to confirm to you, news that has been confirmed in the last few moments, manchester united have parted company withjose mourinho. we're going to get our correspondent andy swiss to join me ina correspondent andy swiss to join me in a moment to look at this current situation with manchester united. one of the things that we have seen in the last few days that is almost unheard of for a club like manchester united, former players in the press, in the media, on tv, speaking ina the press, in the media, on tv, speaking in a hugely critical way about the way jose speaking in a hugely critical way about the wayjose mourinho has been handling his position at united. gary neville, if you saw him talking after the liverpool game, gave that very passionate argument about the situation that manchester united was in. and if there was anyone who personifies that club, it is gary neville. he almost could not speak after the liverpool game. he was clearly devastated and good

any reaction from paul pogba? yes. lot of fans have got on his back but i were given the benefit of the doubt, it isn't him he's at training. it is people from the commercial arms of those industries going to maybe we can step in. it was removed. why do you think this relationship between mourinho and the players just wasn't working? there are lots of big egos, devastate, involved. that doesn't happen across the board so why was this particular recipe not a good one? there's lots of reasons. football styles come and go. all of the more successful teams in europe play an attacking style of football, mourinho's is pragmatic. i imagine a lot of the players are looking at clu bs lot of the players are looking at clubs like manchester city, liverpool, real madrid saying they are not worried if they'd let in one or two because they can score five or two because they can score five or six. that is not the style of football mourinho has been sexed full—width. he has been an enormously successful manager, that is why he was emp

this is the tweet that was sent from paul pogba's account about 45 minutes after the news broke.as have put on the record this afternoon that this was sent as part of a marketing campaign for their new clothing range, and wasn't meant to be a sly hint at the world cup winners, smugness after this news was announced. so unfortunate timing for pogba, because it prompted a backlash from former united players on social media. gary neville making it clear he'd be happy to see pogba join mourinho at the exit door and brian mcclair also hinting that some of the players should be sharing the blame for the slump this season. this is the reaction of some other former players today, we heard lee sharpe there speaking on 5 live saying it was a panic appointment. michael owen says this news felt inevitable and it's mourinho's fault those players aren't performing. and in a lengthy post on instagram rio ferdinand says it feels like the right time for the manager to move on and the club needs a fresh injection of positivity. so let's break down some of the stats that have brought those former p

he will need to solve problems with players such as paul pogba and alexis sanchez, reconnect afan pogbawas so heavily criticised in the journeys mourinho. united style that was so heavily criticised in thejourneys mourinho. united in the background will need to sort out what‘s happening in the summer. they aim to appoint a permanent manager. that could be solskjaer, but the expectation is he will go back to the club he was managing in his native norway and then united will appoint perhaps a more high profile name, and incredibly it will be their fourth permanent manager in six years since sir alex ferguson retired. david, thank you. scientists who carried out a lengthy study of a number of rare scotch whiskies found that more than a third of the bottles‘ contents were fake. the research, at a carbon dating laboratory, established that 21 out of 55 whiskies were not what they claimed to be. at least one of them didn‘t even qualify as whisky. james shaw has been finding out more. vintage whiskies can cost thousands pounds. these bottles may look like the real thing, but they are not what

paul pogba not getting on with mourinho, pogba in more ways means more to manchester united because oflishers being sold notjust in this country but around the world at if you're not performing out there the band in singapore or in india or places like that, are not rushing in to buy the shirts. you will appreciate this thought, i was once in egypt talking to a family who invited me to tea and their little boy proudly recite to me the manchester united lined up, he did not begin with but he knew all of the players and that underlines the point you are making.|j the players and that underlines the point you are making. i salute you, this is a great export, it may or may not be affected by brexit, one does not know. you go anywhere, and they say even if you say you're in london, they say what chelsea, totte n ha m , london, they say what chelsea, tottenham, arsenal? and the glazers who are very sure business, they made a lot of money in manchester united, to them they can't afford to jeopardise their industry. if you are like that —— commercial decision they have taken. thank you very mu

this morning it was training as usual and among those arriving was paul pogba who became disillusionedse mourinho. solskjaer will have to fire him up on the rest of the squad —— the squad service club hero can bring back the glory days. the former nigerian international winger peter odemwingie was signed by solskjaer when he was manager at cardiff city and he says the norwegian is an exciting choice to inspire the players. what caught my eye was the excitement we have, managing the premier league. he looked really in busier stick about it. that he didn't come across as a defensive minded manager. ithought didn't come across as a defensive minded manager. i thought he would play more attacking football. they are still relegated but they couldn't spend a lot of money. he will tell the players that opportunities don't come to life. time flies. take the opportunity now at the same time, remind them of course how big this club is. but he was happy to be a poor choice striker. he will play a key role in bringing out the best of the young players. telling them that you are not here forever, i

paul pogba always left on the bench. this morning, he left this on twitter. reputation at chelsea. but then again, united as a club also struggling to recapture the glory days. in the five users and sir alex is an retired, they have gone through a string of managers. those david moyes and then louis van goal mood —— tried and failed. —— hahl. his sacking will cost the club more than £18 million. for united and theirformer manager, than £18 million. for united and their former manager, failure at a very heavy price. andy swiss, bbc news. . it appears that former striker ole gunnar solksjaer will take over at old trafford. the 45—year—old scored 126 goals for united in 11 seasons with the club under sir alex ferguson and is currrently in charge at norwegian side molde but their 2018 season has finished for the winter and does not re—start until march. manchester united inadvertently posted this message on their website earlier but then deleted it, and the norwegian prime minister erna solberg also tweeted her congratulations but has since deleted that post on s

away at fans the portuguese spent nearly four hundred fifty million euros on new players such as paul pogba but demanded even mole from the reluctant bald rumors also circled that stars including france world cup win appalled but were unhappy with merinos methods and public criticism of his squad. so sometimes what you see is not to get students in. i seen. that some more than others. to say no. no radio leaves with a reported twenty million euro payout and united focus which is to a new permanent coach probably for next season xina dean's a down is available after leaving bale madrid following three champions league triumphs while top them hotspurs more rich tino is adept at developing young players just like ferguson the challenge of restoring united's form of glory and in for all in their millions of fans again is huge whoever takes charge. when you're watching w news live from berlin we'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news up to see of that. if you ever have to cover up a murder best way is to make an accident raring to. never read it like this. list. the streets. clim

that they are giving to a slow start and this most recent defeat against liverpool their superstar paul pogba who has been butting heads in had some some sort of a quarrel with marino going back and forth was left on the bench he's a world champion it's like leaving your ferrari in the garage ok so that's another problem so it just didn't look good and he saw this coming you could say that during your did have an effect on the club he put his stamp on and some degree how will he be remembered he's actually still adored by a large percentage of their fans you know despite the news that just came out today you know but he did win the europa league in his first season that was two seasons ago as well as the league cup now the second season not too shabby they finished second in the premier league but it's was a long shot off of their rivals manchester city that's when they have the record point tally in the premier league so factoring those two things in i think he'll be remembered for that you know and he is the chosen one unfortunately no one wants to be chosen to be fired you know but all in

. -- paul pogba is just a player. be careful.at the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political commentator lance price and the financial times political leader writer seb payne. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in, and of course many are leading with brexit. the financial times reports on the row between cabinet ministers, business leaders and the prime minister as theresa may insists she will press ahead with curbs on immigration after brexit. the independent splashes on the story that thousands of troops will be on standby in case of a no—deal outcome. the metro also leads on the announcement that the army could be deployed if britain fails to agree a deal. "britain moves to war footing," the i also leads on the consequences of no—deal. the daily telegraph splashes on calls from former brexit secretary dominic raab to give businesses tax

among those arriving, paul pogba, who had become disillusioned under mourinho. of the squad as united hope the return of this club hero can start bringing back the glory days. andy swiss, bbc news. jose mourinho issued a statement this afternoon, saying... and he went on to say... olympic champion adam peaty has dared swimming's governing body to ban him, after he backed plans for a new competition next year. the inaugural international swimming league was meant to take place in italy this month. but it was cancelled after fina threatened to prevent anyone who raced from competing in next year's world championships. over 30 of the world's top swimmers met in london today to back plans to launch the isl next august and establish an independent swimmer‘s union. peaty says he's ready stand up to fina. i don't care. you know? ban me. if they got to, i'm not bothered. it's... at the end of the day, they're going to have the backlash from that, so... they know they can't. they know they can't get away with it. you lose all the respect of the athletes and you can't bul

a player reborn in paul pogba and seemingly a team reborn afterjose mourinho's sacking by manchesterager 0le gunnar solskjaer extended his winning run to three straight matches since his appointment as united despatched bournemouth at old trafford, their world cup winner with two goals in a four one win. adam wild reports. it is amazing the difference is not to make. the new manager, and with that, a new optimism. even those who have seen it all before are enjoying what they are seeing for manchester united. the gloom for the time being lifted, players now free to express themselves here, mark showing sublime skill, barely four minutes played against bournemouth. they we re played against bournemouth. they were on theirfeet played against bournemouth. they were on their feet and smiling. few seem to be feeling the change in attitude more than paul burke, criticised even vilified, not rising to the challenge. that was his second united third soon followed rash for this time, in the right place. comfortable enough those past imperfections persist, nathan and exploiting them before half

paul pogba scored twice as caretaker boss ole gunnar solskjaer won his first game in charge at old trafford latest from the amex. brighton 1, arsenal 1. abaumeyang gave arsenal the lead. jurgen locadia equalised ten minutes before the break. 9 away games without a clean sheet now for the gunners. and this is how all of that shakes out at the top of the table. liverpool clear of tottenham in second. city down to third — a point further back. as things stand, arsenal would move above chelsea for an hour or so at least. everton have climbed into the top half of the table with that win at turf moor. you're up to date with everything that's happened and happening so far. better than battling the sales today i reckon. but still not done yet. that's right. a lot more to come today and we're not talking about the sales. we are talking about the football. it goes on tonight. watford take on chelsea. there for us, will be the slive commentary team of pat nevin and conor mcnamara. an exciting day of football on boxing day. we are —— we hope you're keeping the best for last here at big cass vicarage ro

he knows paul pogba, he knows lingard from his time in the reserves, smalling was in the club, so hopefully some smiles back to the dressing room and pull things together. there's excitement and optimism in norway but is that misplaced? because he was found wanting in his brief time at cardiff in the premier league. a little earlier i spoke to bbc wales's football correspondent, rob phillips. it's a bizarre set of circumstances anywhere and i think it will be intriguing the reception that ole gunner sol ski are gaps at the stadium. i don't think fans will fondly remember his last time at cardiff but to be fair to him he arrived when the club was in a device the state, there were tensions between the merger and in came ole gunnar solskjaer, 20 of goodwill but i think the sport has quickly turned to him but the results were poor under him, there we re results were poor under him, there were some scatter—gun signings and it looked a bit too much for him at the time. since he left cardiff city and went back to norway, he has a good managerial track record so you like to think he would have lear

dressing room just did not want to be playing under him will certainly keep players didn't lead by paul pogba the french world cup winner who seemed to take a glade in the departure of marino and he's received criticism for that but you do suspect there is every chance that paul will stop performing under a new manager it was just that marino was weirdly discredited by the end of his right you could make a case and i did that when marino first joined manchester united that hired him as the man with a reputation over many years of success but not the man who actually got to the end of his chelsea right and had problems off the pitch and had a solemn demeanor actually i think they appointed him more in hope than the expectation that he could deliver the major trophies that manchester united need and the way united has been one has a lot of critics of this is like it's a business by the glazers in america and by edward with the man who runs the club from england and actually they need to get back so the traditions of the card playing good football and winning trophies. there was high drama at th

he spent in his writing alone over four hundred million dollars on the eleven players obviously paul pogba is at the center of that and i think what you'll see is every chance of pope pope akbar actually playing much better for another manager which will kind of rub it in a bit more for josie marino but he'll come back and manage again and what are you hearing about who might be the next man in charge at old trafford what is most likely to place for the three step process the man in place right now michael carrick not for long then most likely target would be only going to so shut until the end of the season but if it's not him just a caretaker manager because not just united need to get it right they want so you invest the time to making sure they get their man we know that they have a huge amount of time for project say no spurs there are other people that would be in the frying like still is it that india has to be on a who's done such a good job at that if i would trade but i think there's going to be a lot of talk about whether they can get and that might take time because he certainl

it was clear there was a problem between the radio to stop players mainly paul pogba a hero for france in their world cup win but failing to produce his best form for united and outspoken against his boss on social media and united soccer at their worst start with things in the nearly thirty years but it was with were locked and that the clubs were close of american owners the grazes decided to sack another manager they've been criticised for the failures of david moyes and louis van all of the thirty eight trophies in a glorious twenty six year reign of alex ferguson marino was successful in portugal italy spain and twice in england with chelsea particularly his first writing from two thousand and four he had a different energy about him in those years but he's second spell at chelsea and it with his dismissal in twenty fifth day in a job that was marred by off the field issues he's treatment of the cops medical staff mainly eva kenya oh that's a court case and a discrimination settlement in her favor this didn't stop united appointing him and there were bright spots in the marine air

board which they obviously are pleased about one of those players who cost a quarter of that sum paul pogba has been nothing but sit on the bench of late so you have to ask yourself why would the board want to give this coach more money to spend in january it's really not been good he's not given the young players chances now that's a tradition sewn into the fabric of a club like manchester united he's not given the chance he's not seen the young players develop and he hasn't handled the squad very well it appears he's lost the dressing room he's repeatedly moaned about a lack of attitude and fighting spirit in his squad and as recently as man you know it's a loss to the n.c.i. in the champions league last week so let's have a listen now it's what he had to say after that match. so sometimes what you see is not what jew gets so you don't think they don't care. i think that some care more than others. you obviously know. so he doesn't want to say who there but a lot of people would think immediately but he's talking about but that play it up just said is press been left on the bench now rath

one for the third straight win and the new manager only got a song with revitalized midfielder paul pogba scoring twice today's one of the but that's a top top performance for a midfielder because it's all around it's work great it's dangerous in the box he wins headers he wins tackles and he is no showboating it's torch parts move and he plays efficient game and paul or says it's best when he plays that if. there was one flick maybe. he missed halfway through the second half that you know he says he could have done better with but there's not a lot else he could have done so we had to do. to have good positions under the ball line in the infancy freeze for their wives who were in trouble and they think that. we played a very good very good match for it to five minutes someone certainly on the rise is japanese ski jumper rio you kobayashi he's picked up his first win in eight world cup competitions this season basically for the twenty two year old coming in germany but double olympic gold medalist on but they are so willing to well and truly have the wobbles the twenty three year old aust

knows it's not working there are all these kind of things get people very gauged on social media paul pogba are certainly not blameless in this situation we can all put it the pot ball will actually stop playing well when a new manager comes in because he's a world cup winner he's a player of the highest quality but clayton just did not get on with it's actually come on to social media and by that comment you can see why a lot of united fans are people who football just think that's just not the white to go about this even though there's not that much sympathy sympathy for josie marino him self yes a pretty ugly chapter really the last few weeks why does munches to go from here. it's quite a difficult situation for them trying to get in a manager that will do anything like what alex ferguson achieved because they've had three consecutive failures morey's funnell now marina they don't want to sack any of those managers but largely because of the financial pile of the guys who were on united don't like parting with money certainly not in an area like that they'd rather spend the money and not

there were also strains his star player, paul pogba repeatedly left on the bench.ic message, "caption this", seemingly little love lost. it is a far cry from mourinho's success at chelsea where he carved his colourful reputation. manchester united, champions. then again, united as a club also struggling to recapture the glory days. in the five years since sir alex ferguson retired they have gone through a string of managers, first david moyes, then louis van gaal, both tried and failed to fill the void. now mourinho has joined them, his sacking will cost the club more than £18 million. for united and for the former manager, failure at a very heavy price. andyjoins us from old trafford now. this is a highly decorated manager with a great pedigree. but manchester united are now points why is currently nearer the bottom of the table than they are to the top. 0ne the table than they are to the top. one wonders what kind of a manager is going to be able to fill the void that was left so long ago by alex ferguson. that's right. it is a pretty grey, cold, rainy night at 0
