Paul Pogba‘s future at Manchester United may be heading towards a rock,as reports revealed that he “has told teammates he will quit in January unless Jose Mourinho has gone.”
France international Pogba, whose relationship with Mourinho has become increasingly tense, was substituted during the 3-1 defeat at West Ham on Saturday.
The source said, he “feels he is being embarrassed by being played in formations and with tactics that none of the team can get to grips with” and has “told people close to him that he is better off not playing in a Mourinho team.”
It claimed Pogba is “resigned to the fact that he cannot play under the manager and wants out if Mourinho stays.”
The World Cup-winning midfielder and United’s record signing was reported over the weekend to be keen to join Barcelona or Real Madrid — but United do not want to sell him.
ESPN also reported that the Barcelona board are divided on whether or not to make a January move for Pogba, but are confident that the club have the funds to land him.
Speculation over Mourinho’s position at Old Trafford has increased since the West Ham defeat, with United facing a crucial home game against Valencia in the Champions League on Tuesday.
