Pogba Would Rather Travel In His Rolls Royce Than The Team Bus – Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has aimed a dig at a Manchester United player who he
claims requested to travel back from an away game separately from the
squad in his Rolls Royce.

The suggestion is the player in
question is Paul Pogba and that it was after the win against Burnley
earlier in the season, however, Mourinho does not name the individual.

“We
would play a team that was 30 kilometres from Manchester and a player
asked me if after the game he could return to Manchester without the
team and go on his own,” Mourinho said in a lecture in Portugal.

“I
told him: ‘If we went to London and you wanted to stay there, that
would be one thing. But this is close, it doesn’t make sense.’

“The
guy was upset. But then we won the game and he asked me again. Because I
was happy, I gave in a little and said: ‘At least leave on the bus and
ask your chauffeur to catch up with you 10 minutes from the stadium,
then go as you wish.’

“And this guy in the locker-room still
wasn’t happy. I went to the press conference and when I arrived at the
team bus, parked beside it was a Rolls-Royce with his chauffeur.

“After all, the car was new and His Excellency would like to leave the stadium in his Rolls-Royce.

“Now
how do we deal with this? You (tell him) never go in the Rolls? You can
go when I’m happy? Or you solve this thing in another way to get me ‘on
vacation’.”
