Zlatan Ibrahimovic has admitted Paul Pogba
didn’t “feel confidence†from Jose Mourinho and
says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is now letting the
midfielder do “whatever†he wants.
Ibrahimovic spent a season-and-a-half with the
pair at Old Trafford before joining LA Galaxy in
2018.
Pogba assumed control of the United dressing
room when Ibrahimovic and Wayne Rooney
departed, but the Frenchman’s relationship with
Mourinho turned toxic towards the end of the
Portuguese’s stint.
Solskjaer has revived Pogba’s career at the club
since replacing Mourinho and Ibrahimovic admits
Mourinho and Pogba were barely on speaking
terms.
“There are these players that need to be free, they
need to feel free to do what they are able to do
under the disciple of the coach.
“Obviously, he has his tactics, he has that, but
some players they go above these limits, and you
need to let them be free, and I think Paul [Pogba]
is one of them.
“Paul didn’t feel confidence from the coach, and
the coach didn’t feel confidence for Paul.
“It’s difficult to perform as a player if you don’t
have confidence from the coach and you don’t
have that energy, that motivation, and Jose felt
the same thing about Paul.
“These things happen, and that is part of the
game also; I mean, not everybody can go among
each other and do well together.
“I feel like you come to a moment where it is too
blocked and one goes or the other one goes. At
this moment, the coach left, and Paul is more free
now,†Ibrahimovic told ESPN.
