Mourinho was the man to bring Pogba back to Man United for a then-world record fee of £89.3 million back in 2016.
After a successful first season together, winning the League Cup and the Europa League, communication between the two broke down in the second.
Speaking on Rio Ferdinand’s podcast, Pogba reminisced about his time under Mourinho, saying: "I don’t have any problem with any coaches, you know.
"I always respect, always respect. They tell me what to do. They are the boss. That’s the truth. They are the boss. They decide if you play or not.
And we were very cool at the start, very cool, sending messages and stuff like that. He’s a really funny man. He’s a funny guy. He’s really special, to be honest."
Pogba then suggested that the constant stories about him in the media at the time played a role in the falling out.
"And after a time, I think the injuries created that," Pogba explained.
"And, you know, when always the media ask him questions about me, maybe makes him a bit like, okay, is he done? And this is the problem also with me, like a lot of people they love to ask about me.
“Always Paul, Paul, Paul. And that probably pissed him off."
