Manchester United midfielder, Paul Pogba has told his teammates that he would go on strike over issues with Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho’s war with Pogba threatens to reach a new level, according to the Mirror. Mourinho and the player he signed back from Juventus have been at loggerheads for much of the season.
Television cameras picked up a frosty exchange between them during training at Carrington on Wednesday morning following a defeat to Derby County in the Carabao Cup.
However, United’s Saturday’s Premier League match away to West Ham ended 3-1 at the London Stadium.
Pogba was withdrawn with 20 minutes remaining, and United were two goals down. The French man made minimal eye contact with Mourinho as he made his way to the bench
The newspaper claimed that Pogba, who was also stripped of his ‘second captain’ status, has told teammates he no longer wishes to play for Mourinho if he allows their conflict to escalate any further.
Pogba is however unhappy with the way Mourinho is conducting himself and managing United, and has said to teammates that he is prepared to go ‘all the way’ to get rid of Mourinho by refusing to play under the Portuguese if the atmosphere does not improve.
