Pogba ‘crisis’: Man Utd players who are taking sides with player against Mourinho revealed

The battle in Manchester United’s dressing room has become more than a war between midfielder Paul Pogba and manager Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho had stripped Pogba of the club’s vice-captaincy in front of his teammates on Tuesday and was filmed arguing with the player on the training pitch the next day.

The fall-out between the two men, is threatening to make the atmosphere in the dressing room toxic, with the UK Mirror reporting that other first-team players will side with Pogba against the manager.

Anthony Martial is believed to be in the camp of his international teammate, having been at loggerheads with Mourinho for a large part of 2018.

Mourinho is also at odds with Eric Bailly, the Ivory Coast international who is no longer first choice.

Luke Shaw has been back in favour with his manager this season, but his relationship with Mourinho is best described as fragile at the best of times.

Shaw was in the Instagram clip posted by Pogba on Tuesday night, as was Andreas Pereira, back at the club after a loan spell at Valencia, but who is back on the periphery at Old Trafford.

Mourinho still has backing from a number of senior players at the club, most notably Ashley Young and Nemanja Matic.

Club captain Antonio Valencia, Marouane Fellaini and Alexis Sanchez are also taking sides with the manager.
