We were not winning, that's why they decided to change the head coach- Paul Pogba
The Frenchman has sparkled since the departure of the former FC Porto gaffer.
Manchester United's star midfielder Paul Pogba and ex-manager Jose Mourinho were clearly having an uncomfortable relationship during Jose's reign at United. The Portuguese manager was blamed several times for handing defensive duties to the Frenchman thus reducing his impact on the game. It is believed that Jose's bad relationship with Pogba was one of the main reason behind him getting sacked.
Speaking ahead of France's Euro 2020 qualifier against Moldova on Friday, The Frenchman said that the "wrong results" were the main reason behind Jose's sacking.
"What were the issues? We were not winning, that's why they decided to change the head coach."
"The results matter the most. If we were winning, we would have good results and the coach would have remained at his position. That's all." said Pogba.
