Jose Mourinho insists that he has not held discussions with Didier Deschamps over how to get the best out of Paul Pogba, contrary to recent press reports.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has dismissed suggestions that he has held discussions with France counterpart Didier Deschamps over how to get the best out of Paul Pogba.

The 25-year-old midfielder has struggled to replicate his early-season form in recent weeks, being overlooked for selection numerous times ahead of the two-week international break.

Mourinho is said to have recently reached out to Deschamps in a desperate attempt to reignite Pogba's Old Trafford career, but the Portuguese has strongly refuted these claims.

"Not true," he told reporters at Friday's press conference. "The last time I spoke with Didier Deschamps was probably when we played against each other many years ago. I haven't spoken with Didier in a long time. I also don't comment on my players' performances for their national teams."

Pogba netted for France in their 3-1 win over Russia on Tuesday evening, ending his four-month wait for a goal.
