Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has told Paul Pogba to hand in a transfer request if he wants to leave.
The Sun says Mourinho warned him not to air his grievances in the media and said if he wants to quit the club “again” he should ask for a transfer.
Pogba hit back by telling Mourinho if he plans to speak to him formally again he should go through his agent Mino Raiola.
Mourinho delivered his no-nonsense message after ordering the Frenchman in for showdown talks in the wake of Pogba’s comments following United’s 2-1 opening-day win over Leicester.
An unhappy Pogba had told newspaper reporters: “There are things I can say and there are things that I cannot say, otherwise I will get fine.”
A furious Mourinho told Pogba he did not appreciate those comments and added, “If you wish to leave Manchester, again, all you have to do is ask for a transfer”.
The ‘again’ was a dig at him having quit the club in 2012 to earn more money at Juventus before his £89million return two years ago.
