Jose Mourinho defends Paul Pogba
Former United midfielder Scholes insisted Pogba's below-par showing in Sunday's 1-0 home loss to West Brom was "disrespectful" to United manager Mourinho.
But Mourinho rejected that critique, choosing instead to praise Pogba for hitting back to form on the south coast.
Asked to comment on Scholes' criticism of Pogba, Mourinho replied: "I don't agree. I agree that it wasn't a good performance at all [against West Brom]; with that I agree."
Mourinho made seven changes from the loss that handed Manchester City the league title for the Bournemouth trip - but crucially retained Pogba.
The France international produced a much-improved display, leaving Mourinho purring.
Asked to rate Pogba's showing at Bournemouth, Mourinho replied: "Top
performance. Top performance. Obviously the performance against City was special, coming with two goals.
