Paul Pogba salutes axed Jose Mourinho after Manchester United sacking

Paul Pogba tried to bury the hatchet with Jose Mourinho after Manchester United romped to victory in their first game since he was sacked.

Pogba was involved in four goals as United won 5-1 at Cardiff under interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – the first time they have scored five in the Premier League since Sir Alex Ferguson's last game in charge in 2013.

The Frenchman's relationship with Mourinho turned toxic as he was stripped of the vice-captaincy and benched for the manager's final three league games.

Pogba added fuel to the fire by posting a picture of himself smirking on social media shortly after Mourinho was axed on Tuesday.
