Mourinho and Pogba had a training-ground situation and here is what he said: “Exactly that,” Mourinho said. “That’s exactly that, I think Paul told that in one of his appearances in the famous mixed zone and is exactly, he is correct. Is a good relation, player manager.
“No, I cannot tell you [what was said]. The training session was open, you had some cameras with some potential to get some of the words, maybe you have to change the potential if you want to know everything that is said because I’m not going to comment, it was a conversation.
Mourinho: “The relation is good, nobody trained better than Paul Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, nobody trained better than him, some trained as well, but nobody better. And tomorrow he plays, so end of the story." #mufc [MEN]

Mourinho on Pogba’s captaincy: "I informed the player and the players and when I was asked before the match on Tuesday I confirm and now I confirm and now end of the story.” #mufc [MEN]

Mourinho:”I always analyse a player as a player when a player is captain, I analyse the player by the player and captain perspective. After weeks of analysing and changing opinions with my coaching staff we made the decision Paul is just a player and not a captain.” #mufc [MEN]

“After the draw on Tuesday yes, a draw at home against a Championship team, a good Championship team, but against a Championship team is not a good result for us,” Mourinho added.
“The same as the draw against Wolves, a good team but a team we have to beat at Old Trafford. Five matches in September, zero defeats, three victories, two draws, but not good enough and of course we want to finish the September month with a good match, a good performance, a good result.”
Mourinho on Pogba: “He's a player like the others, no player is bigger than the club and if I'm happy with his work, he plays, if I'm not happy he doesn't play. Manchester United is bigger than anyone and I have to defend that.” #mufc [Sun]

Mourinho on video of training ground bust-up
“I think for you was amazing because you made a story, an incredible story, out of 15 minutes of open training session.
“But what happened the other day happens many days, conversations with players I have many, many, many times.
“That was not the case [on this occasion], but loud criticism, loud instruction, that happens every day, coaching is about that but you make story about it.
“So I’m happy the rules are only 15 minutes [of filming training] once a month and situations like that are not going to change, there is no chance you will watch a session.”
Mourinho: "No, I cannot tell you. The training session was open, you had some cameras with some potential to get some of the words, maybe you have to change the potential if you want to know everything that is said because I'm not going to comment.” #mufc [MEN]
