How I Battled Depression – Paul Pogba Reveals | READ DETAILS
Manchester United and French hitman, Paul Pogba has opened up on his battle with depression during the reign of former coach, Jose Mourinho.
The 29-year-old played under Mourinho for almost four seasons, between 2016 and 2018.
In 2016, the midfielder returned to the Premier League side from Italy’s Juventus only to be fraught with a turbulent relationship with Coach Mourinho.
Speaking about the rocky relationship almost four years later, the French International cited the mental challenges a professional player tussles with.
In an interview with Le Figaro- a Paris-based tabloid, Pogba stated;
“I’ve had depression in my career, but we don’t talk about it. Sometimes you don’t know who you are, you just want to isolate yourself, be alone. These are unmistakable signs.
Personally, it started when I was with Jose Mourinho at United. You ask yourself questions, you wonder if you are at fault because you have never experienced these moments in your life.”
The father- of-two is in the final year of his Man United contract.
