(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 was sacked by United in December 2018 after their worst start to a season for 28 years and was replaced by Solskjaer, who was appointed as caretaker manager before he was given the job full-time after an upturn in results.
