I have to think the players will side with Pogba over Mourinho, who has not been a good leader for them. Whether it's the way he's criticized them, antagonized them, trashed them in Luke Shaw and Martial's case, his whole man-management, including the inclusion of Sanchez has been absolutely dreadful. If anyone actually believes Mourinho is gaining control of the dressing room by going against one of his best and more popular player who basically said what they're all thinking, including the fans, I think they'll be surprised over the next few weeks. I can't help but feel Mourinho will implode this dressing room and then get sacked regardless, with or without Pogba still in the team. The fact that they go out there every game and look completely clueless to me is a bigger sign than anything coming out of the media that they are tuning out Mourinho, he has already lost them IMO and I feel he will continue to lose them more with this Pogba episode.
I can't see how the situation improves from here on out, even if they get rid of Pogba it will only make this team far worse than it already is, with more pressure on Mourinho and less scapegoats in the absence of Pogba. It's going to be a spectacle, and I'm legitimately sorry that a club like United is going through that, but it's pretty fascinating to follow.
But this makes Pogba seem like he's a dressing room leader/someone to admire.
Believe you me, even if Jose goes due to the players siding with Pogba - there'll be another man throwing them all uner the bus by June 2019.
Paul Pogba himself, when he declares a player of his calibre deserves better players around him and that's why he's moving to a real world-class club in Barcelona.
