The relationship between Old Trafford Boss and then record-signing Pogba has been strained throughout the season and has proved to be one of the major reasons for Manchester United being termed as an “underachieving team.”
Even though there were speculations of Pogba and Mourinho getting along back, the truth still beholds and their relationship is draining, day by day. Recent of the many is their brawl after the game against Southampton, in the dressing room. According to the reports Paul Pogba was called “Virus” by the manager.
According to The Sun, Mourinho called Pogba a ‘virus’ in front of his team-mates, and told him: “You are like a person with a flu with a virus in a closed room – you pass that virus to the others.”
The Portuguese further added: “You don’t play, you don’t respect players and supporters and you kill the mentality of good, honest people around you.”
Many say that United’s downfall is because of Mourinho-Pogba ideology conflict and these reports suggest nothing but intensify the speculation.
