Paul Pogba has attacked Jose Mourinho’s man-management style, accusing him of “going against players” and making them feel like “they don’t exist any more.” After Mourinho’s appointment as Manchester United manager in 2016, he made Pogba the world’s most expensive player.

Pogba was instrumental as United claimed a League Cup and Europa League double in 2017, but the pair had an uneasy relationship before Mourinho was sacked in December 2018 and succeeded by Ole Solskjaer. “What I have now with Ole is different because he wouldn’t go against the players,” Pogba said.
