Pogba and Mourinho feud has been exaggerated, says Deschamps

France coach Didier Deschamps believes Paul Pogba's reported feud with Jose Mourinho has been blown out of proportion.

Pogba was a key player as Les Bleus won the World Cup at Russia 2018, scoring in the 4-2 defeat of Croatia in the final, but has been at the centre of an alleged bust-up with his Manchester United manager during the early stages of this season.

Although Pogba has netted four goals in all competitions this campaign, he was stripped of the vice-captaincy by Mourinho, who denied a training ground row between the pair, while the midfielder claimed he was banned by the club from speaking to the media after last week's goalless draw with Valencia.
