"We spoke in a funny way, a good way,” Mourinho said.
“I think it’s a nice destiny, I think only Pogba's mum is a little bit in trouble, which is normal.
"It’s difficult for the lady, it’s impossible to choose.
“I know from Paul she wants a draw but next week one son will be happy and another one will be sad.
"But I think it’s only a little problem for them.
