Jose slams Pogba 'lies'
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has angrily insisted that rumours his relationship with Paul Pogba has broken down are "lies".
According to French sports newspaper L'Equipe, midfielder Pogba is unhappy with the more defensive position in which he has been used by Mourinho.
But an irate Mourinho dismissed suggestions there was any issue .
"I think you are nice with your words, because when you say 'a lot of speculation' you should say 'a lot of lies'," Mourinho told reporters on Friday. "I accept and I can speak on Paul's behalf without any kind of problem. Paul accepts that he has not been playing well in the last few matches but that's all.
"And if you want to speak about it, then that is one thing and your word 'speculation' maybe makes a bit of sense.
"But the majority of things you can read and listen, don't be nice, be objective and say 'lies'.
"I don't have to speak to you about my conversations with my players. I don't have to tell you anything about it," the Portuguese boss added.
