Watford will face Manchester United this Sunday in a Premier League team and the coach had to diss Mourinho's Pogba.
Pogba's ex-team-mate Pereyra joined Watford from Juventus, while Pogba joined United. The 54-year-old Italian protected his player and said: "As a principle I fall in love with my players. They are very important. Pereyra is a great player, he runs from side to side, has great qualities and was the player I wanted. If I had to choose, I’d pick Pereyra".
He admitted that the Frenchman is still struggeling at his new team but he's confindent Pogba will find his way. "But Pogba is a champion. He is a very young player and this may have an influence on him adapting a little slower after changing team.
"Everything is new for him at the moment but with one play he can change the result".
He admitted that the 23-year-old did a good job at Juventus. "The Pogba I saw for Juventus was able to run free and wreak havoc because he had Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio chaperoning him, giving him protection and guidance, but I was a little bit disappointed with him when I saw him play in a two for France at Euro 2016".
