Mourinho 'happy' with unsettled Pogba

Jose Mourinho says he has "never been so happy" with Paul Pogba and the midfielder will stay as captain against Brighton and Hove Albion, despite his comments suggesting he is unsettled at Manchester United.

The Frenchman had reportedly been hinting at a transfer away from Old Trafford, with Barcelona linked with a move, but Mourinho has stepped out to quell the rumours. 

The Portuguese said: "The truth is we are together for two years and a couple of weeks, I've never been so happy with him as I am now.

"I cannot demand more from him, I cannot ask more from him. He came here on a Monday, he trained three days, I asked for his support, contribution in a match where we had difficulties.

"He did it, did it better and for more time than we could expect.

"When he says he did it for the fans and for the team it's exactly what I want."
