Man United midfielder Paul Pogba has intimated that playing for the Red Devils is the “dream”, despite an alleged fractious relationship between the manager Jose Mourinho and himself.
He has shown, in streaks, his ability to dominate games and create from midfield and recorded 10 Premier League assists overall. But often for long periods Pogba not lived up to his billing as one of the world’s best players.
Now, he has claimed that the occasional heated exchange between him and his manager are actually a positive.
“We can disagree but he is still the manager and I am the player. Sometimes I see things he doesn’t and sometime he sees things I can’t. But it doesn’t mean anything is bad.
“It’s good. He is the coach. He decides and I accept and I respond on the pitch.”
He added: “Just to wear the shirt to play in Old Trafford, I was here in the academy and it was a dream to play for the first team.
“I am proud, I know the fans and story of the club. It’s Poggood!”
Pogba scored two when United beat Man City 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium after having been 2-0 down at half-time, and the Frenchman believes that the result against City proves his club can compete with the very best.
“If you have that mentality all season we would have been fighting at the top with Man City for sure.
“It is good when the manager believes in you and the players. When you see and hear that you want to give the best for the manager and the team.”
