José Mourinho shrugs at Paul Pogba’s criticism of his address. The Manchester United midfielder recently questioned the working method of the current Tottenham Hotspur manager. The more warm approach of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suits the French a lot better, it became clear. Mourinho, however, is not concerned about Pogba’s harsh words.
“I would like to emphasize that I don’t care at all what he says. It doesn’t interest me at all what Paul thinks, really not at all,” Mourinho explains in clear terms in front of the camera. Sky Sports. The choice lord of Tottenham does not want to waste any further words on the critical account of Pogba, who was brought to Manchester United by Mourinho in 2016. The turbulent partnership between manager and player came to an end in December 2018, when the coach from Portugal was fired at Old Trafford after a series of disappointing results.

Mourinho’s reaction follows Pogba’s critical interview with Sky Sports, a few days after Manchester United won 1-3 against Tottenham. “What I have with Ole now is different, he would not turn against his players”, was the telling conclusion of Pogba. “Ole might not draw on certain players, but then he doesn’t ignore them as if they don’t exist at all. That’s the big difference between Ole and Mourinho.” Despite this, the midfielder’s feeling about his former coach has sometimes been different. “The bond with Mourinho was once very good, everyone could see that. The next day, however, you didn’t know what was going to happen. That’s the strange thing that happened between me and Mourinho. don’t even know what happened. “
Mourinho and Solskjaer were at odds with each other after last week’s game on Sunday. Edinson Cavani seemed to have put the visitors in the lead, but the goal was canceled due to a foul by Scott McTominay on Heung-Min Son shortly before. The attacker remained on the ground for a long time, much to Solskjaer’s anger. “We shouldn’t be cheated like that,” he grumbled Sky Sports. “To be honest, if I saw my son lying on the ground for three minutes and then he needs ten teammates to get up, I wouldn’t feed him.”
Solskjaer’s harsh words fell particularly badly to Mourinho. “Sonny is very lucky that his dad is a better person than Ole. I’ve already told Ole what I think of his comment. As a father, and I am a father, you should always feed your children. If you have to steal for that, then you do. I am very, very disappointed about this. ”At the press conference after the game in North London, Solskjaer emphasized that his relationship with Mourinho is still very good, despite the altercation.
The incident between the two managers is reasons for Pogba to reinforce his opinion about Mourinho once again. “I’m not sure what happened, but I’m sure Mourinho has said something that has been talked about extensively. That’s how he works. But we don’t need this kind of bickering, we’re just dealing with ourselves. We won. and Mourinho lost. In such a case he would rather not talk about the match, no, then it is about someone else’s father. That is really typical Mourinho, everyone knows that “, said Pogba.
