If Paul Pogba has a problem with his manager, he has a funny way of showing it.
Rumours circulated in recent weeks that Pogba had fallen out with Jose Mourinho and fuel was poured on that unfounded fire when Mourinho dropped the club’s record signing from his starting XI for a pair of games in February.
A gash to his thigh kept Pogba out of Manchester United’s 2-1 victory over Liverpool on Saturday and while he wasn’t able to affect matters on the pitch, the Frenchman did managed to silence the rumour mill.
After the full-time whistle, Pogba wandered right into an interview that Mourinho was giving and interrupted so that he could congratulate his manager on the side’s solidification of second spot in the Premier League.

Mourinho has previously rejected suggestions that his relationship with the 24-year-old had become strained this season, with certain reporters claiming that Pogba had argued with his manager over his best position.
“I think you are nice with your words, because when you say ‘a lot of speculation’ you should say ‘a lot of lies’,” Mourinho said last month.
“Paul accepts that he has not been playing well in the last few matches but that’s all. It’s my problem, it’s the player’s problem.
“It’s a big lie that the relationship is not good, a big lie that we don’t communicate, a big lie that we don’t agree with his positions and his involvement in the dynamic of the team.”
