Manager Jose Mourinho and Paul Pogba have been in the news with a speculation that both are not going well with each other. But that did not seem to be true in recent interview before United traveled to South Coast. The Boss himself confirmed that there are no problems between the two and emphasise the level of respect both of them share with each other.
The boss said. “ I cannot demand more from him, I cannot ask more from him. ”
“He came here on Monday, he trained for three days, I asked for his support, for his contribution in an important match for us, when the team had difficulties. He did it, he did it better and for more time than we could expect. When he says he did it for the fans and for the team, it’s exactly what I want. It’s exactly what I demand from my players, it is what he is giving me.
“Please don’t put him in a situation where people can think that he’s not a polite, educated guy, which he is.
”He’s very polite, he’s very educated, he never had a fight with me. We never had a warm or hard, I don’t know how you like to say, exchange of words. Everything is respected. I have no problems at all.
“He’s working well, he’s playing well, he does (it) for the fans, he does (it) for the team and that’s what I want. I want him to play for the team, which he’s doing, and, I repeat, I couldn’t be happier than what I am.”
