FIFA's investigation into Paul Pogba's transfer to Manchester United will not affect the France midfielder, says Jose Mourinho.

The France international returned to Old Trafford from Juventus in August in an £89million deal.

"The question is simple," he said. "It does not affect Paul."

The deal to sign Pogba broke the previous record set by Gareth Bale's £86million switch from Tottenham to Real Madrid.
