Paul Pogba cast fresh doubt over his Manchester United future by saying he would get fined if he really opened up about his happiness. Two years after returning to Old Trafford from Juventus in a world-record deal, Pogba, 25, is reported to be so unhappy that he has informed executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward of his desire to leave.

A tense relationship with Jose Mourinho appears to be at the heart of it. Questions about their relationship were raised last term and the midfielder is said to have been annoyed by his manager's comments around the World Cup.
