“Sacking of Mourinho key” – Pogba’s brother on new Manchester United happiness

Paul Pogba, since rejoining Manchester United in 2016, has won the EFL Cup and the Europa League.

The midfielder’s biggest career achievement came when he won the World Cup with France last summer.

However, his brother Florentin Pogba has not reached the heights of Paul, and after completing a trial with second division Spanish side Elche, he will be registered as their new player next week.

Florentin sat down for an interview with Spanish newspaper AS, in which he explained that Paul is enjoying his life under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after previously having difficulties under the guidance of Jose Mourinho.

“The sacking of Mourinho has been key. He wasn’t happy and it was clear to see. Now with Solskjær, everything has improved. He knows my brother from their time during the reserves,” he said.

Last summer, Paul Pogba was linked with a move to Barcelona and his brother was asked by AS that if the Frenchman would join the Catalan outfit.

Florentin said: “We like tiki-taka. I always watch their matches or go to the Camp Nou.”

“When my brother leaves Manchester United he can only go to three teams to improve: [Manchester] City, Real Madrid or Barça. He will not go to City so he will come to Spain: to Barca or Real Madrid.”

Paul Pogba will have two years left on his United contract after the end of the season.
