Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has reportedly told manager Jose Mourinho to stop blaming him for Manchester United's problems.
The pair have had a number of dressing-room exchanges this season, most recently in the aftermath of Saturday's disappointing draw with Southampton.
Mourinho allegedly accused the World Cup winner of lacking respect and labelled him "a virus" who infects the players around him.
United recovered from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Southampton, but they are still eight points adrift of fourth-placed Arsenal, who they face on Wednesday night.
