In case you didn't know..

There have been rumors since the second game-week after the start of the English Premier League, that there has apparently been a fallout between Paul Pogba and Head Coach, Jose Mourinho.

Fans have been divided on this news, some stating Pogba's attitude issues being the root of the problem, and the others fearing Jose Mourinho might be leading to another star player exiting, which usually happened with Mourinho at Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan.

Sky Sports Pundit and former United player, Gary Neville has chosen to take the side of the player instead of the manager, stating that as a player Paul Pogba is more important to Manchester United than Jose Mourinho as the manager.

The heart of the matter

The strained relationship only led to a public display of interest in Pogba by Spanish Giants, Barcelona, as they look to replace legend Andres Iniesta, who played the last season for the Catalan club, last season.

Pogba's agent Mino Raiola, was reportedly pushing for a move to the La Liga side the whole summer, but failed to capitalize as United were keen to retain Pogba. The interest in Pogba, as well as the alleged move to Barcelona, grew after a successful World Cup for Pogba, who ended up on the World Cup winning side.

Rumour Rating/Probability: 9/10

Now that Paul Pogba himself has acknowledged the fact about his tense relationship with Mourinho and the fact that his future is uncertain for the next few months, we might be looking at a mega-money transfer in the Winter Transfer Window, in January.

With Barcelona still been unable to fill Iniesta's boots, Pogba would be confident to fill the same, thanks to the World Cup regime in June, this year.

What's next?

With Jose Mourinho's Manchester United already under heavy criticism for a mild transfer window before the season, if Pogba were to leave United in January, the gap will be a big one to fill, in an already depreciated United side.

What's certain is the fact that if there is a move, the Premier League would be losing one of it's biggest stars of the modern era.
