5 reasons why Paul Pogba will stay at Manchester United

#4 The whole Pogba-Mourinho situation has been blown out of proportion

The argument that kickstarted the storm

Ever since Pogba and Mourinho were caught arguing near the tactical area while Spurs were taking the Red Devils to the cleaners, rumours of a fallout between the manager and his creator-in-chief have been rife.

That Paul Pogba was not entirely fit to feature for 90 minutes vs Sevilla was largely ignored as he strolled through the park after being forced to come on early in the first half after Ander Herrera sustained an injury. Mourinho's benching of Paul Pogba was seen as a decision that was birthed out of bitterness and Pogba's indifference attributed to a loss of heart.

Don't get me wrong, Jose ought to be disappointed with Paul Pogba for cutting a disappointing figure in humiliating defeats, like the one at Tyneside.

And Jose, as he has done several times in the past, takes the honest route with his players and tells them he is benching them if they're not performing well enough to be donning that Manchester United kit for 90 minutes.

Sure, the UEFA Champions League exit must have led to some decisions being made but this is Jose Mourinho and Paul Pogba in the tunnel after United thumped the Merseysiders at home - a game that Pogba missed out on as he was unfit.

Say what you want but that is not a gaffer and a player who have problems with each other. And if the signs after the Manchester derby are anything to go by, the relationship is only getting better.
