Mathias Pogba, the brother of Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, has criticised former manager Jose Mourinho.

Pogba's form instantly improved after Mourinho was sacked and replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in December but over the summer he reiterated his desire to leave for a new challenge.

United's stance is that they do not want to sell Pogba but Mathias went on Spanish television on Thursday and talked up a possible move to Real Madrid.

He also spoke critically about Mourinho, who is currently working as a pundit for Sky Sports.

"No, he isn't a winner. Who is Mourinho? Players don't always have to back their coach. You do if he's right there alongside you, but there was a divide between him and the whole team," Mathias told El Chiringuito.
