Manchester United: I have never been so happy with Pogba - Mourinho

Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho has shed more light on his relationship with midfielder Paul Pogba, saying that he has never been so happy with the Frenchman as he is now.

There have been reports that there is a rift between the two, but the former Chelsea boss has come out to say that the media should not report lies about the happenings at Old Trafford.

He said this in a press conference ahead of his side's Premier League clash against Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday.

"The truth is we are together for two years and a couple of weeks I've never been so happy with him as I am now. That’s the truth," he said, Sky Sports reports.

According to reports, Pogba is keen on a move to Barcelona having agreed personal terms with the Catalan side, but United have insisted that the former Juventus man will be going nowhere.

It remains to be seen what will happen before the closure of the transfer window in Europe, but it is highly unlikely United will let him go.
