Paul Pogba: Manchester United midfielder wanted to LEAVE in January if Jose Mourinho was kept on as manager
Paul Pogba wanted to LEAVE Manchester United in January if Jose Mourinho stayed on as the Premier League club’s manager.Pogba, the midfielder, has been playing some of the best football of his career since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Mourinho in the Old Trafford hot seat last month.1

Pogba has been in fine form over the past month

This turnaround is even more remarkable given just how poorly the 25-year-old was performing in the final months of Mourinho’s reign as United manager.And, according to The Sun, Pogba was ready to seal an exit from the club this month if the Portuguese was still in charge.He is believed to have told team-mates he would actively search for a new club to take him on loan to get out of the ‘miserable situation’ he found himself in at Old Trafford. If no loan deal could be completed, Pogba was adamant he would leave United at the end of the season, and was willing to push for a permanent Red Devils exit.Pogba was benched for the final two Premier League matches of Mourinho’s reign, failing to feature in a 4-1 defeat of Fulham and the 3-1 loss at Liverpool.
