"When I came back to United, it was the best feeling ever," Pogba told Inside United. "I came back home.

"I always dreamed of playing for United, to have many games and score goals. Nothing had really changed, except for maybe the team and the manager, but the rest of the club was the same.

"I just came back home, it was like I didn't really leave -- I just went on holiday. It was a great feeling to come back home."

Pogba started the campaign as United's vice-captain, as he wore the armband for the opening matches in the absence of skipper Antonio Valencia.

However, following comments about the club's playing style, Mourinho stripped the France international of the vice-captaincy role.

Pogba missed Sunday's 3-1 defeat in the Manchester derby through an injury which also forced him to pull out of the France squad, having been called up for the upcoming internationals against Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League as well as the friendly with Uruguay.
