MANCHESTER United should give Paul Pogba a THIRD chance because he’s still better than any of their current midfielders, claims Old Trafford legend Dwight Yorke.

And Treble-winning hero Yorke reckons United are not safe yet from relegation and need all the help they can get.

Pogba, 31, is available on a free transfer after serving a doping ban and Yorke believes United should take a punt on the former France international.

Yorke said: “I would give Paul Pogba a third chance, definitely, because of what United currently have and because of what we know he is capable of producing.

“United have struggled, and Pogba is a damn good player.

“Even though he’s 31, I think he’s far better than what we have now. And if you’re going to get a player for free, who’s far better than all our players in midfield, then you do it.

“With two months left, I would say, ‘Let’s have a look’. Give him a contract.

“You’ve got time here to prove yourself. You can come and play and help us out with the situation.

“I’m sure Pogba would be very keen. Maybe he might want a long-term deal because of the security.”

United’s penny-pinching bosses would balk at a mega-money deal for former Old Trafford star Pogba, who twice left Old Trafford on a free transfer to Juventus..

But beleaguered boss Ruben Amorim is floundering after a comeback draw at Everton left his team deep in the bottom half of the table.

Yorke is refusing to rule out United being relegated and delivered a withering verdict on Amorim and his underperforming players in an interview with casinobeats.com.

And the former Trinidad and Tobago international contrasted Amorim’s struggles since arriving at Old Trafford in November with the immediate impact that former United boss David Moyes made on his return to Everton.

Man Utd ratings vs Everton

MANCHESTER UNITED fought back from two goals down to draw against Everton at Goodison Park

The Red Devils were slammed as “embarrassing” by Rio Ferdinand after failing 2-0 down in the first half.

But they fought back late on thanks to a stunning Bruno Fernandes free-kick and volley from Manuel Ugarte, who bagged his first goal since his summer arrival from PSG.

Amorim’s men were then lucky to escape a penalty in the final moments after VAR overturned the decision.

SunSport’s Ken Lawrence has given his ratings of the Manchester United team…

Andre Onana – 7

United needed him with his game-head on, and his 93rd-minute stop saved a point.

Noussair Mazraoui 69′ – 4

Looked seriously uncomfortable on the right side of the back three – forced there because of a defensive injury crisis

Harry Maguire – 4

Out-jumped by Doucoure as the midfielder grabbed Everton’s second and was generally all over the place.

Matthijs de Ligt – 4

Nowhere for Beto’s opener, completely missing attempted clearance and got away with a 93rd-minute penalty call.

Diogo Dalot – 5

At least shows willing. Which is more than could be said for some of his team mates at Goodison.

Manuel Ugarte – 7

Spent most of the game stranded in United’s midfield morass but salvation came with a brilliant strike.

Casemiro 62′ – 2

The Brazilian is beginning to look like the world’s oldest 32-year-old —he’s become a genuine irrelevance.

Patrick Dorgu – 6

Made a determined start down the left flank but that enthusiasm was slowly but surely sucked out of him.

Bruno Fernandes – 8

His free kick was genuine class and once he was dropped deeper started controlling the game.

Joshua Zirkzee – 4

At £36.5M you would expect an element of ball control but the Dutchman used as a joint No 10 just looks lost.

Rasmus Hojlund 69′ – 3

Not so much a desperate Dane, more a despairing one although it would help if he had some support.

Subs:

Alejandro Garnacho 62′ – 7

Injected some desperately needed pace and passion. 

Leny Yoro 69′ – 6

Should have been on much earlier.

Chido Obi-Martin 69′ – 5

The 17-year-old has a presence for sure.

Yorke said: “We’re in 15th place. People still think that we are safe. I am not so sure.

“There’s still a long way. And the more games you are losing, the harder it gets.

“Amorim is in a difficult place right now. He needs to find a way out.

“I do believe that despite the challenges of where United are, as a manager, you’ve got to stabilize the club.

“How could David Moyes go to a team that was struggling more than United and suddenly turn that around?

“Moyes has done well at Everton but certainly we’ve got better players at United. Somehow, he’s managed to turn it around while we continue to struggle.”

“I’m not saying that Amorim’s not a good manager. We’re not asking you to beat Liverpool, we’re not asking you to beat Arsenal.

“All we’re saying is, just win some football matches against teams that you should be beating.

“And if you’re not going to win against the big boys, and you’re not going to start winning against the small boys, when are you going to start?”

CONTROVERSY has seemed to follow Jose Mourinho throughout his career.

The Special One is currently causing a stir in Turkey, where he coaches Fenerbahce.

Following a 0-0 draw with fierce rivals Galatasaray, the Portuguese tactician has been accused of making “racist statements”.

Former Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham boss Mourinho claimed after the stalemate that Galatasaray had tried to get one of his team booked early on.

He told a press conference that “everyone on the opposing bench was jumping around like monkeys”.

However, Galatasaray have now hit back – vowing to file a criminal complaint against the two-time Champions League winner.

It’s the latest of a long list of controversial moments that have featured Mourinho.

SunSport wades through some of those below.

“Respect”

During a press conference in the 2018-19 season, Mourinho took umbrage to journalist’s questions following a 3-0 defeat for his Manchester United said.

Holding up three fingers, Mourinho said: “What was the result? 3-0? You know what this means? 3-0.

“But it also means three Premierships, and I’ve won more Premierships alone than the other 19 managers together. Three for me, and two for them.”

He then got out of seat, gesturing the media to calm down with the palm of his hand, before repeatedly saying ‘respect, respect man’.

Fracas with Wenger

Mourinho and Wenger already had previous, when the then Chelsea boss called the French manager a “specialist in failure”.

However, handbags were flying when the legendary Arsenal manager entered his rival’s technical area and gave him a shove and angry words were exchanged.

After the game, Wenger explained: “I wanted to go from A to B, and somebody confronted me before B without any sign of welcome.

“Honestly, I don’t listen to what he says. Push him? You would know if I really tried to push. Come on.”

Wearing a wire

The conspiracy theories were really getting to Mourinho during his spell at Roma.

He was convinced referees had it in for him during the 2022-2023 season, a campaign which saw him receive three red cards on the touchline.

So, in true Mourinho form, he did what he could to protect himself. He became an informant and wore a wire.

He revealed: “I’m not stupid, you know. Today, I went to the game with a microphone. I recorded everything. From the moment I left the locker room, to the moment I returned. I protected myself.”

More touchline shenanigans

When Mourinho revisited Stamford Bridge with his Man Utd team, it took his team to hold him back as he looked for a fight.

To be fair to Jose, he was wound up by Chelsea’s coach Marco Ianni celebrating a late equaliser in front of him by the dugouts.

Stewards, Phil Neville, and other Red Devils staff members had to hold him back as he tried to race down the tunnel to confront the Italian.

Afterwards, Ianni and Maurizio Sarri offered their apologies.

Hiding in a laundry basket

In his first season in the Prem at Chelsea, Mourinho was handed a touchline ban for the Champions League quarter-final clash with Bayern Munich.

But, there was no way he was going to let that get in the way of entering the dressing room to talk to his team.

He told Sky Sports years later: “I go to the dressing room during the day so I was there from midday and the game is seven o’clock. I just want to be in the dressing room when the players arrive.

“I went there and nobody saw me. The problem was to leave after. And Stewart Bannister the kit man put me in the basket. It was a little bit open so I could breathe.

“But when he is taking it outside the dressing room, the UEFA guys were following and desperate to find me so he closed the box and I couldn’t breathe.

“When he opened the box I was dying! I am serious! I was claustrophobic, I promise! It’s true.”

No questions, please

Often, you can strike gold with Mourinho at press conferences – because of his wit, charm, and no-holds-barred comments.

But, on this occasion, he chose to say nothing.

It was a press conference that lasted just 10 seconds, when Man Utd’s press officer asked waiting journalists if they had any questions following the final league game of the 2016-2017 season.

Now most of the written press weren’t in the room at this time, with Jose arriving before them.

With the handful that were in the room hesitant, Mourinho took it upon himself to say “good” before marching off.

Assault on Tito Villanova

During his Real Madrid years Mourinho was especially spiky.

And it was fierce rivals Barcelona, who irked him the most, with things coming to a head in El Clasico.

After the game, Mourinho poked Pep Guardiola’s then-assistant Tito Villanova in the eye in an unprovoked attack and wandered off.

Barcelona didn’t make an official complaint. However, the club said: “The public have given their opinion. They are very clear that what this person did wasn’t right. The (Spanish football) federation will act if they want to.”

They did, they gave Jose a two-game ban, which was later rescinded in a general amnesty on suspensions across Spanish football.

Mourinho apologised a year later and has always continued to express his sorrow for the incident.

A SEASIDE city near the UK has been named a top destination for 2025 by British Airways.

As part of their 2025 Travel Trends Report, searches for holidays to Agadir in Morocco boomed last month.

Compared to searches in January 2024, searches last month for the Moroccan city were up 308 per cent.

This beat a number of other European destinations such as as Crete (up 44 per cent) and Gibraltar (up 17 per cent).

Even places like Abu Dhabi (up 95 per cent) and Koh Samui (up 38 per cent) were not trending as highly as Agadir.

Andrew Flintham, Managing Director of British Airways Holidays, said: “Our third annual report provides some impressive insight on how UK consumers are looking to travel.

“Not only are they looking for new ways to optimise their time away, but there is a clear trend in travellers embracing traditional holiday elements with the likes of all-inclusive.”

It’s not just British Airways who fly to Agadir.

TUI is launching new flights to Agadir from Newcastle this summer while Jet2 has launched new flights from Bournemouth to Agadir.

But most airlines fly to the city, including Wizz Air from London Gatwick and Ryanair from London Stansted, Manchester and Birmingham.

Meryem Bennouna, the Moroccan National Tourist Office’s UK director, told TTG last year: “It’s a huge amount of new flights and they are also from different UK cities, including Manchester, Birmingham and Newcastle.

“We’re in a very good place and super excited about the UK market – it’s increased exceptionally in comparison to last year and it’s very unique what’s going on.

“Tourism is going increase even more and in the UK market, in particular, we’re still very far from reaching its full potential.”

When it comes to Agadir, the city is just under four hours from the UK.

As Morocco‘s largest seaside resort, it has huge stretches of beaches with some popular with surfers.

Along with 300 days of sunshine, you can expect high temperatures even in winter, reaching highs of 25C.

It is affordable too – a study by Which? last year found Agadir to be one of the cheapest for package holidays.

Popular attractions include Souk El Had, one of the largest markets in Africa, as well as the many hammans in the city for an authentic Moroccan spa experience.

Seven night, all-inclusive breaks were on sale for as little as £300 at four-star resorts.

Otherwise the cheapest flights are with Ryanair, starting from £19.99, or Loveholidays have an all-inclusive week-long break from £299.

What is it like to stay in Agadir?

The Sun’s Deputy Travel Editor Kara Godfrey recently visited Agadir.

Rebuilt following a devastating earthquake in 1960, the sprawling city nestles against the Atlantic Ocean and its palm-lined wide roads feel more Miami than Morocco.

No wonder the South African country looks set to be a holiday hotspot as Brits look past Spain next year.

I’m staying in Taghazout, a surf town with an ever-growing number of modern beach-side resorts, just 13 miles north of Agadir and its sizzling souk.

One of the newest resorts is the five-star adults-only Pickalbatros White Beach, which features pristine white marble steps, manicured gardens and a huge airy lobby offering views of the beach through giant glass windows.

It’s affordable luxury at its finest, and the perfect place for a last-minute holiday with my closest gal pal.

If you fancy some other parts of Morocco, here is everything you need to know about the coastal city of Essaouira.

Or here is Taroudant which is often dubbed Little Marrakesh.
