(Reuters) - Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has said his former Old Trafford manager Jose Mourinho was known for ignoring players once he benched them, which was in stark contrast to his current boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who never casts players aside. Mourinho's final months at United were underlined by his breakdown in relationships with players such as Pogba, who he also stripped of the vice-captaincy. "What I have now with Ole is different, he wouldn't go against the players," Pogba told Sky Sports. That's the strange thing I had with Mourinho and I cannot explain to you because even I don't know." Mourinho vented his frustration over criticism of Spurs forward Son Heung-min who Solskjaer accused of conning the referee.
