Pogba has only created 34 chances all campaign and scored just five Premier League goals

Manchester United cemented their hold on second in the Premier League with a workmanlike 2-0 victory over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

United are now second in the Premier League table, but suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat to the league's basement side West Bromwich Albion on Sunday afternoon.

Smalling fired the visitors ahead with a close-range finish in the 28th minute and Lukaku sealed the win with a superb strike in the 70th, burying his shot over advancing keeper Asmir Begovic after he was put through by Paul Pogba.

He told BT Sport ahead of Bournemouth's clash with United: 'Obviously he's got into the England team recently and played and did well when he came on but I think this is where he needs to be for a few years.

"I only know one criteria: is the way you play". "And he had a yellow card so he was in a more hard position than others".

Pogba was widely criticised for his lacklustre display against Albion - the latest in a long line of disappointing efforts from the former Juventus star since his move to United two seasons ago.

Regarding Pogba's performance, Mourinho said: "It was not just him and he had a yellow card, so he was in a more hard position than others".

Having survived two Bournemouth penalty appeals, United doubled their lead in the 70th minute.

"They won the last five games and are in great form".

He was substituted soon after and initially headed straight down the tunnel, but was directed to the bench, where he took a seat on the back row like a naughty child at school.
