Mourinho: Man Utd Problems Not Down to Just Pogba

Jose Mourinho says Manchester United's problems are down to "the players, organisation and ambition" and also denied Paul Pogba was responsible for his dismissal.

Mourinho was sacked as United manager in December after overseeing the club's worst start to a campaign in 28 years.

Fractures in his relationship with Pogba had begun to emerge in September, with the France World Cup winner stripped of the vice-captaincy before an animated disagreement between the pair at the club's training ground.

But when asked if he was a victim of Pogba, Mourinho told French newspaper L'Equipe: "No, no. The problems are there, you can imagine that the problems are the players, the organisation and the ambition.

"I will only say that I cannot say 'yes' when you ask if Paul was the only one responsible."

Mourinho added: "On Manchester United, I only want to say two things. One is that time has spoken. Two, it's the problems are still there."
