Paul Pogba: ‘I don’t have a problem with Jose Mourinho’

Nearly two years on from his £89 million return to Old Trafford, the Frenchman is still failing to set the Premier League alight and has come in for fierce criticism.

Mourinho criticised Pogba after the home defeat to West Bromwich Albion earlier in April, although the 25-year-old responded with a starring role in Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final win over Tottenham.

"I do not have any problem with Mourinho, I do not think he has either," Pogba told French TV programme Canal Football.

"He [Mourinho] is the coach, he's going to make choices and I as a player, I accept them. That is all."

A wave of reports last week suggested Pogba, along with Anthony Martial, Matteo Darmian and Daley Blind, could leave the club this summer, but he insisted he was only focused on United.

"For now I'm at Manchester United, I really only think about the present. Transfers are not in my head," he said.

"You know, if I listened to everyone, I would be everywhere."

Pogba has fired five goals for United this season – including a match-winning brace in the derby win over Manchester City.
