Paul Pogba and Jose Mourinho

France midfielder Paul Pogba on Monday said it is not necessary for his club Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho to be friends with him. "There were times when I wasn't playing, I was on the bench," Pogba was quoted as saying by French cable television channel Canal+. "People talked about it a lot. They thought things weren't going well, but a coach and a player don't have to be best friends. We don't have to go to a restaurant together," he added.
