The France international, currently on international duty at the World Cup in Russia, came under scrutiny for his perceived underachievement at Old Trafford in 2017/18.

Pogba and Mourinho didn't always see eye-to-eye and the Portuguese tactician opted to bench the 25-year-old towards the end of the season. However, Pogba believes the experience helped him become a better player.

"This year was a better season than last year as I was more decisive," he told a press conference at the World Cup.

"It's also true that I had a big injury. It's experience. There were little issues with Mourinho, but they were nothing.

"These are things that make you grow. I never had a season where I was pushed aside, or they put me on the bench.

"It is also the choice of the coach, it's his job, I must accept, as I always said, the only answer is on the pitch."
