The pair are not getting on that well at the moment
Paul Pogba was left out of the Manchester United squad, due to ‘illness’. Pogba tweeted this morning to confirm that he wouldn’t be travelling to Huddersfield, explaining that he needed to ‘get better’. His choice of words obviously triggered a storm of tweets agreeing that he does indeed need to get better, at football that is! Classic.
Anyway when José Mourinho was asked about Pogba’s absence today he told the interviewer on BT Sport that he was informed this morning by the doctor about the situation, and when asked how long it would rule Pogba out for, he said he didn’t know and didn’t care. Listen for yourself:
Jose Mourinho speaking to @DesKellyBTS on the severity of Paul Pogba's injury…
"I don't know, and honestly I don't care."

You’d expect Pogba to be back in the team upon his recovery, but could this flippant dismissal of Pogba’s absence spell trouble? It wouldn’t be the first time Mourinho has failed to get the best out of a flair player.
