Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has denied falling-out with Paul Pogba after stripping him of the
captaincy band.
On Wednesday morning, pictures of both in a tense discussion at the training ground emerged.
In the clip, Pogba exchanged greetings with United officials including Michael Carrick with Mourinho
standing and must have uttered something that took the 25-year-old aback.
Pogba was then seen having an apparently exasperated discussion with the manager.
“The only truth is that I made the decision of Paul not to be the second captain any more but no fall-
out, no problems at all.
“The same person that decides that Paul is not the second captain anymore is the same person who
decides that Paul was the second captain. Myself. I am the manager, I can make these decisions.
“No fall-out at all, no problems at all, just one decision that I don’t have to explain.”
