Ex-United defender Rio Ferdinand, while discussing the issues the club has had since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013, revealed he had a phone call with Rooney to ask him why certain players would be seen dancing in social media videos despite the team's on-field issues.
Ferdinand claimed that Rooney replied saying "you can't say nothing man, it's not the same anymore" and that "it's not just those two, there would be a big group looking at me like I'm mad if I said anything".
Seemingly taking issue with the remarks, Pogba, who will return to football in March 2025, has sought to directly clarify the remarks in a recent interview with Sky Sports.
"I heard Wayne Rooney say that we lost a game and me and Jesse were dancing in the changing room," he began.
"You always need a witness, OK? If someone can confirm what Rooney said, I will accept it.
"If there is not, it is not true. Lingard never confirmed that because I am a very bad loser and I respect the club.
"Wayne Rooney, a legend of the club, sitting there and not saying anything. Do you think that matches?"
