English media outlets pin Paul Pogba to leave Man United after the club set a £200m price tag on the midfielder.
The ever-increasing speculations on Pogba’s move away from Manchester United received a huge push yesterday, when a training session argument between the midfielder and Jose Mourinho was caught on video.
In the video, the Manchester United manager is seen saying something to Pogba, which makes the Frenchman turn and stare at Mourinho. The two were then seen indulging in a wild discussion.
Earlier, Mourinho removed Paul Pogba from vice-captaincy of the club, two days after the French midfielder stated that Manchester United should attack at Old Trafford.

The relationship between the two has seemingly soured ever since Mourinho put Pogba on the bench for Champions League knock-out match against Sevilla last season.
According to English media outlet Daily Mirror, Paul Pogba is eager to make a switch to defending La Liga champions FC Barcelona.
Barcelona’s interest in the French midfielder is well documented in the past. The Catalan club reportedly made a bid for Paul Pogba in the summer, which was rejected by Manchester United. Barca manager Ernesto Valverde, however, is still keen on bringing Pogba at Camp Nou.
United’s press officer made Mourinho aware of the Instagram post. Pogba denied posting the update after the game. Mourinho then instructed the press officer to apologise to Pogba over the misunderstanding. #mufc [Sun]
