Paul Pogba has claimed his relationship with former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho was a 'nightmare' but that he wants to give him a 'big hug' to make up.

The Frenchman arrived at Old Trafford for £89million as Mourinho's marquee signing in 2016 but their relationship was tumultuous and became frayed.

With questions over the midfielder's attitude, Mourinho stripped him of the vice-captaincy, called him a 'virus' in front of the squad, and left him on the bench for his final game in charge, a 3-1 defeat by Liverpool in December 2018.
