Former Manchester United striker, Dimitar Berbatov has disclosed that manager, Jose Mourinho and midfielder, Paul Pogba will figure out their ‘fight’.
Mourinho and Pogba are no longer on speaking terms after the United boss told the player to hand in a transfer request if he wanted to leave the club ‘again’.
The former Chelsea manager clashed with the French star this week at United’s training ground following Pogba’s controversial comments after the Red Devils’ 2-1 win against Leicester City on Friday.
Pogba confirmed his unhappiness at the club by telling reporters after the game that “There are things I can say and there are things that I cannot say, otherwise I will get fined.”
According to Daily Mail, Berbatov believes talk of a rift between the duo is being blown out of proportion, adding that talk of a transfer for Pogba was considered to have been exaggerated.
“I was very happy with the display of Paul Pogba against Leicester, it was a real captain’s performance,” Berbatov told betfair.
“He was everywhere on the pitch, passed it well, took the penalty with confidence – considering it was the first game, it was very encouraging.
“There has been chat in the media about him being unhappy, but I think the newspapers and social media are always focused on that side of things, trying to find problems that aren’t necessarily there, constantly exaggerating – it’s on the pitch that matters.
“These stories are not good for anybody, but Jose and Pogba will figure it out.”
