Man Utd boss Mourinho: The truth about Pogba is...

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says he's never been happier with Paul Pogba.

At this afternoon's media conference, Mourinho opened it addressing the claims of a row with the midfielder.

He said, "The truth is we are together for two years and a couple of weeks and I've never been so happy with him as I am now, that's the truth.

“I cannot demand more from him, I cannot ask more from him, he came here on a Monday, trained three days, I asked for his support for his contribution in an important match for us when the team had difficulties."

On his performance in victory over Leicester City, Mourinho was again enthusiastic.

"He did it better and for more time than we could expect, when he says he did it for the fans and for the team is exactly what I want, is exactly what I demand from my players.

“He's working well, playing well, he does for the fans, he does for the team and that's what I want, to play for the team and I couldn't be happier than what I am."
