Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has spoken of his relationship with manager Jose Mourinho on French TV.

Speaking to Canal+ on Sunday, Pogba conceded he is not friends with Mourinho.

"There were times when I wasn't playing. I was on the bench. Much has been spoken about.

"People thought it was wrong but a coach and player don't have to be best friends. One is not forced to go to the restaurant together. I had some problems – it's mental.

"He put me on the bench, I answered on the pitch, I give my maximum every time. It made me grow in leadership.

"I had the armband with Mourinho, it was the first time in a club. It's important to me, it makes me grow up to be as a leader in the France team."
