The pair worked together at Manchester United
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Pogba has claimed that the pair would often fall out but would be quick to make up with each other.
He said: “Our relationship was like boyfriend and girlfriend, we were breaking up and making up all the time.
“It started great, he was one of the reasons I went back to Manchester because I spoke to him and he convinced me to come back.
“I don’t know why it turned into a nightmare and us fighting. Because I wasn’t fighting. I didn’t start the fight.
“We disagreed like managers and players do sometimes. But there’s a lot of respect from me to him.
“f I see him tomorrow it’s a big hug! But one day we will have to sit down together and discuss it.”
Mourinho was the manager who brought Pogba back to Manchester United in 2016.
While they were at the club, they clashed multiple times, including in 2018 when Mourinho was unhappy that Pogba was posting on social media during a match that he missed.
Mourinho claimed that the World Cup win in 2018 saw Pogba change and return to Man United “different”.
The midfielder had left Old Trafford four years earlier on a free transfer to Juventus.
He made a name for himself as one of Europe’s greatest at the Italian side.
The Red Devils decided to spend £90 million to get him back to the team as a result.
He made 233 appearances for the team and won the EFL Cup and Europa League while he was there.
Pogba, 31, left the club on a free transfer in 2022 at the expiration of his contract and rejoined Juventus.
His first season back in Italy was hampered by injuries before he was then banned for FOUR YEARS for doping.
However, his suspension reduced to 18-months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport earlier this month after an appeal.
He has insisted that he is not a cheater and that he took responsibility for taking the supplement but did not “triple check it”.
The former France international also revealed which club he would like to play for when he makes his return.
Pogba insisted that he would be keen to rejoin Juventus and even admitted that he would take a pay cut.
