Meanwhile, Pogba's team-mate Ander Herrera has described Mourinho as the "perfect" manager for the club.
United have lost their past two matches against Manchester City in the Premier League and Feyenoord in the Europa League, and defeat at Watford on Sunday would mark the team's worst run since December.
But Herrera said: "Players like Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic came partly because this is a massive club - but also because Mourinho is here.
"His way of thinking is what this club wants.
"If you are an honest player, he is going to be an honest manager with you."
