Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho turned on Paul Pogba in front of the playing group after Saturday's 2-2 draw at Southampton, it has been claimed.

Mourinho steamed into Pogba in the St Mary's away dressing room.

An Old Trafford source revealed to The Sun, “Jose called Pogba a virus in front of all the players.

“He told him 'you are like a person with a flu with a virus in a closed room - you pass that virus to the others.'

“He also told him 'you don't play, you don't respect players and supporters and you kill the mentality of good, honest people around you.'"

At Saints, the Frenchman was dispossessed eight times by opponents, lost 15 of 30 duels and completed less than 85 per cent of his passes.
