Pogba says he was driven to depression by Jose Mourinho at Man United

Paul Pogba claims that he was driven to depression by his fallout with Jose Mourinho at Manchester United.

Pogba was stripped of the vice-captaincy by Mourinho in September 2018 as their relationship turned sour, and he believes the situation led to mental health issues.

‘I’ve had depression in my career, but we don't talk about it,’ Pogba said in an interview with Le Figaro while on international duty with France.

‘Sometimes you don’t know you are, you just want to isolate yourself, be alone. These are unmistakable signs.

‘Personally, it started when I was with Jose Mourinho at United. You ask yourself questions, you wonder if you are at fault because you have never experienced these moments in your life.

‘All top athletes go through these moments but few talk about it. Inevitably, you will feel it (depression) in your body, in your head, and you may have a month, even a year, where you are not well. But you don't have to say it. In any case publicly.

‘We earn a lot of money and we don't complain really, but that doesn't prevent us from going through moments that are more difficult than others, like everyone else in life.

‘Because you make money, you always have to be happy? It's not like that, life. But, in football, it does not pass, we are however not superheroes, but only human beings.’
