No Player Is Bigger Than Manchester United Says Jose Mourinho

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho insists his relationship with Paul Pogba remains good but underlined that "no player is bigger than the club".

Old Trafford has been in the eye of a storm this week, with the frustrating draw at home to Wolves followed by a Carabao Cup exit to Derby and more questions around the 25-year-old's future.

Mourinho took the vice-captaincy off Pogba in the build-up to Tuesday's game and the following morning remarkable footage emerged of a heated training-ground conversation between the pair.

The Portuguese would not explain what was said in the conversation that made ripples around the footballing world, but confirmed that the World Cup winner will play at West Ham on Saturday.

"I explained in detailed to the people that have to know, which is the squad and especially Paul," Mourinho said of the decision regarding the vice-captaincy.

"So, Paul and the other players in the squad, they know in detail the reason why myself and my coaching staff decided to do that."

"Nobody trained better than Paul on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Nobody trained better than him. Some trained as well as him but not better than him, and tomorrow he plays, so end of the story."

"No player is bigger than the club and if I'm happy with his work, he plays. If I'm not happy, he doesn't play."
