Mourinho finally reveals the major problem he had with Pogba at Man United

- Mourinho has recounted his bitter row with Pogba while at Manchester United

- The pair was involved in incessant run-ins that culminated to Pogba's axing from the squad and captaincy

- Jose Mourinho has now admitted he failed to get the best out of the French midfielder

Former Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho, has taken time out to reflect on his sour relationship with Paul Pogba in the latter days of his tenure as manager at the club.

Both Pogba and Mourinho were involved in a number of run-ins that saw the French midfielder dropped to the bench.

Mourinho further stripped the former Juventus star the captaincy role at the club before branding him "the virus" in the United squad.

However, months after his sack from the club, the Portuguese tactician has owned up and admitted he failed to get the best out of the midfielder.

Speaking on beIN Sports, Mourinho further suggested he did not have the right chemistry with the Frenchman, acknowledging that he now needs to improve how he manages players he is not in good books with.

"It’s the personality, the way of being, the way of thinking, you have more chemistry, empathy and chemistry," Mourinho told beIN Sports.
"And that’s why some players are phenomenal with one manager and with another not so good. It’s chemistry," he added.

Since his departure, Pogba has been in terrific form, bagging nine goals and seven assists in 15 appearances.

Mourinho was replaced at Old Trafford by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in December on interim capacity.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Jose Mourinho claimed that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could struggle to succeed at Manchester United if finally being appointed as permanent manager at Old Trafford.

Since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho at Manchester United in December 2018, the Red Devils have not lost any game in the Premier League.

United's only defeat so far under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in the Champions League first leg round of 16 tie against Paris-Saint-Germain in which Pogba got a red card.
