'Fantastic' Rakitic must improve his social media – Mourinho in veiled Pogba dig
Jose Mourinho lauded Ivan Rakitic as "one of the most under-rated
players in the world" but, in an apparent dig at Paul Pogba, said the
Barcelona midfielder needs to improve his social media presence to be
held in higher regard.
Rakitic, not Lionel Messi, was the star of the show in Saturday's Clasico, scoring the only goal of the game in an impressive performance to secure a 1-0 win over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Mourinho was appearing as a pundit for the match on beIN SPORTS and was hugely impressed with the Croatia international, but his praise also appeared to be veiled swipe at Manchester United midfielder Pogba, who has been criticised for his use of social media.
He and Mourinho clashed in training last September, reportedly due to the France star posting videos to Instagram during United's penalty shoot-out defeat to Derby County in the EFL Cup.
Pogba also posted an apparently scheduled photo of him smirking above the comment "Caption this!" shortly after Mourinho was sacked as manager in December, and the Portuguese seemingly took his opportunity to hit back.
"For me, Rakitic is one of the most under-rated players in the world," Mourinho said.
