Pogba details past bust-up with ex-Man Utd superkid Morrison

Paul Pogba has revealed a past bust-up with former Manchester United teammate Ravel Morrison.

Pogba recalls nearly coming to blows with Morrison, now of Sheffield United, after he was kicked in a training session and “smashed" his fellow academy product in retaliation.

Speaking on the UTD Podcast, Pogba said: “So I was training and obviously everyone knows how good Rav is with the ball.

"He was dribbling [past] players. I took the ball from him and he got angry a bit and kicked me.

"I couldn't speak English so I looked at him and [thought] 'that's okay, I'll wait until you get the ball' [laughs]. I smashed him.

“He started talking to me in English and I responded in French. You know, 'Okay we will see after in the changing room. Okay, no problem. I'm not scared of you'.

“After, he came to me and hugged, you know, and, since then, we're very close. It's a strange story and funny but that happens a lot in football and now we're very good friends."
