Paul Pogba has stressed that he “doesn’t have to be best friends” with Jose Mourinho and that he is unsure of his future at Manchester United, reinforcing the development of a rift emerging between the club’s record signing and the manager after a disappointing campaign.
Despite improving from sixth to second in the Premier League, United finished the season trophy-less after losing Saturday’s FA Cup final 1-0 to Chelsea, a result that has seen Mourinho face extra scrutiny for his methods.
The Portuguese clashed with Pogba earlier in the season when he dropped the France international from his starting XI, and although Pogba forced his way back into the side, he has not looked at the peak of his game in recent months at Old Trafford.
