Mourinho has helped to develop Pogba - Capello

Jose Mourinho has helped Paul Pogba develop as a player during his time at Manchester United, insists former England manager Fabio Capello.

The World Cup winner has had a well-documented and tumultuous relationship with the Special One since returning to Old Trafford from Juventus in 2016, but the 72-year-old Italian believes that Mourinho’s management has done Pogba good.

Speaking to Italian newspaper La Stampa, Capello said: “It wasn’t easy for Pogba to get used to English football.

“He’d only experienced it at youth level. Today he’s more involved, and in that respect Mourinho’s jabs have helped him.
