'He has to answer by his words': Furious Jose Mourinho refuses to comment on Paul Pogba's 'attitude' jibe before walking out of press conference after just EIGHT minutes
Jose Mourinho added to the sense of turmoil surrounding him at Manchester United when he turned up half an hour early for his weekly press conference and left after a tense eight-minute exchange with reporters.
It can only be assumed that Mourinho’s actions were intended to wrong-foot journalists who have come under fire from the 55-year-old manager in recent weeks.
The United boss has come under increasing scrutiny over his strained relationship with Old Trafford chief Ed Woodward and record signing Paul Pogba this summer.
Last weekend’s shock defeat at Brighton heaped more pressure on Mourinho, with Zinedine Zidane understood to be interested in replacing him.
Asked if his relationship with Woodward is fine, he replied: ‘Of course.’ On Pogba, who admitted after the Brighton game that his attitude and those of his team-mates wasn’t right, Mourinho added: ‘Paul said. He has to answer by his words. If you want any explanation about Paul's words, you must get him and ask him.’
Pressed on the problems in the background at United, a moody Mourinho said: ‘Yeah, but don't ask me because I don't read it. I don't know 10 per cent of what is written, of what is coming on TV screens, so I'm not the right guy to answer it. You are pessimistic, I'm not.’
