Manchester United midfielder, Andreas Pereira, revealed what truly happened in the infamous training ground bust-up between Mourinho and Pogba.
The two were reportedly in a war of words while on the training ground where Mourinho seemed to be confronting the French Captain about something to which the latter took offence fought back with some words of his own.
According to Pereira, the fight was over an Instagram video that Pogba posted
Reports emerged that the video was posted after United’s Carabao cup defeat to Derby County, but Pereira insists that the video was posted during the game

“We were winning the game 1-0 at the time of the video.
“Then we lost the game, and people said that Pogba posted later. But he posted before.” he said.
“The manager thought that Pogba had posted later. He asked him why that had happened. There was a mood about it. These things were out here in England. But I have nothing to do with it.”
While Mourinho’s relationship with some of the United players has been scrutinized and deemed as somewhat unhealthy, the Brazilian midfielder insists that his relationship with the manager is good.
“The relationship is good, it’s cool,” he added. “I have a very good relationship with him, with the players and he also has a good relationship with the players.
“We don’t feel that pressure coming from outside. Everyone says that he’s being sacked. We do not feel that.
“I don’t usually have any English media on my phone so I don’t get intoxicated with everything they say.
“He’s our manager, we give our life on the pitch for him and for us too. Everyone is very calm, very focused and very happy.”
