'Jose went against the players' - Pogba slams former Manchester United manager Mourinho

Paul Pogba has criticised the methods of former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, with the Frenchman saying current boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will not "go against players" like the Portuguese coach did.

World Cup winner Pogba returned to Old Trafford for a second spell when Mourinho invested a record-breaking £89 million ($122m) to bring him back to England from Juventus.

Initial success was enjoyed, as three trophies were captured in 2016-17, but a once-productive working relationship between superstar player and high-profile coach broke down, and Pogba is among those that have been forced to start afresh under Solskjaer.
