Jose Mourinho refused to be drawn on Graeme Souness' criticism of Paul Pogba after Manchester United's 1-0 Premier League defeat at Newcastle United on Sunday.
Souness described Pogba as playing "like a schoolboy running after the ball in the playground" in a newspaper column, a week after the France international was dropped to the bench for a 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town.
Pogba made an ineffective 66-minute contribution at St James' Park, replaced by Michael Carrick in the moments after Newcastle's Matt Ritchie scored the winning goal.
But Mourinho was not in the mood to field questions about Souness' comments at his post-match press conference.
