Pogba faces fine from United
Many observers wondered how French star Paul Pogba would react to the news regarding the boss with the relationship between Mourinho and Pogba notoriously fraught with tension.
At 10:41 UK time the official Paul Pogba Twitter account posted a picture of the player bearing a wry smile along with the text "Caption this". The post was deleted after two minutes but not after many Twitter followers made screen grabs of the post. United legend Gary Neville also responded to the player saying: ‘You can do one as well!’
This all however could be a question of bad timing and unfortunate wording on behalf of Pogba with suggestions that this was a pre-programmed promotional tweet as part of his collaboration with German sportswear giant Adidas. Surely, the fine or otherwise will determine how the club see this version of events.
