The media have long reported a tense relationship between Paul Pogba and Jose Mourinho, but the Portuguese mentor claimed that it was not so.

Earlier this week, Mourinho stripped the captain's armband Pogba, and in the press explained, because of what the coach took this decision.

According to the Daily Mail, in the Pogba-Mourinho conflict, several players took the side of the player.

Among them compatriot Pogba Anthony Martial, as well as Eric Bayi and Andres Pereira, who is dissatisfied with his playing time.

The trainers are supported by Nemanja Matic and Ashley Young, who distanced themselves from the Frenchman. The relationship between Bogba and Romel Lukaku, which could earlier be called very friendly, became much "colder".
