Departing Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has recalled an incident involving former manager Jose Mourinho which led to a breakdown in their relationship.
In his new documentary, the Frenchman claims now Roma coach Mourinho forwarded to then agent Mino Raiola a picture of him and his wife Zulay during a rehab break in the United States.
Pogba went to Miami to recover from a hamstring injury and Mourinho was said to be unhappy that the player did not stay at home.
“It all started when I got injured,” Pogba says in the five-part documentary.
“I decided to go to Miami for rehab and left. In Miami, a paparazzo photographed me with my wife Zulay.
“Mourinho sent the photo to Raiola. I didn’t like it at all… at all. I said to Mou, ‘are you serious? I am injured, but I come here to train three times a day. Who do you think I am? I’m not like other players’.”
Speaking in the documentary, Pogba says of his relationship with Mourinho: “It was a new thing for me. I’m not used to having problems with my coach.
“If I were to meet Mourinho tomorrow I would joke with him. I don’t hold a grudge.”
