Mourinho Narrates One Incident When Pogba Inflicted Much Pain in His Heart

Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has a lot paining his heart ever since he was sacked by Manchester United back in December.

A painful 3-1 loss to bitter rivals Liverpool was the final straw for the Old Trafford hierarchy and the axe fell on Mourinho’s time in Manchester.

It had been a long time coming after a frustrating start to the season saw United lurch from one miserable result to the next.

The Red Devils fell miles off the pace with Mourinho himself admitting that a top-four finish looked impossible before his sacking.

His relationship with his playing staff had long since turned sour and the group had clearly turned on the Portuguese – they simply did not want to play for him and it was clear for all to see.

However, it was Mourinho’s long-running standoff with French star Paul Pogba that perhaps attracted the most attention.

Mourinho made no attempt to hide the fact that he was not a fan of some of Pogba’s behaviour and is still talking about it to this day.

Speaking at a coaching seminar in Portugal, Mourinho subtly confirmed a story that emerged earlier in the season reporting that Pogba had snubbed the team bus to travel home in his chaffuer driven Rolls Royce.

“We would play a team that was 30 kilometres from Manchester and a player asked me if after the game he could return to Manchester without the team and go on his own,” Mourinho recounted.

“I told him: ‘If we went to London and you wanted to stay there, that would be one thing. But this is close, it doesn’t make sense’.

“The guy was upset. But then we won the game and he asked me again. Because I was happy, I gave in a little and said: ‘At least leave on the bus and ask your chauffeur to catch up with you 10 minutes from the stadium, then go as you wish’.

“And this guy in the locker-room still wasn’t happy. I went to the press conference and when I arrived at the team bus, parked beside it was a Rolls-Royce with his chauffeur.

“Now how do we deal with this? You (tell him) never go in the Rolls? You can go when I’m happy? Or you solve this thing in another way to get me ‘on vacation’.”

‘His excellency’? Crikey.

While Mourinho tried to be subtle, it is quite clear who he was talking about.

Pogba and Jose never saw eye to eye and it’s no surprise their relationship erupted in the way it did.

Mourinho was eventually ‘sent on vacation’ and Pogba hasn’t looked back since.
