The Old Trafford legend said: "You do one as well!".
The post was explained by sponsors adidas who said: "Pogba's social media posts were a scheduled event, part of a marketing campaign.
"[It was] immediately taken down once it became apparent that it could be misconstrued as disrespectful to Manchester United and Jose Mourinho."
But according to a report by Daily Mail, Pogba will be fined for his unprofessionalism regardless of the reason given by the kit sponsor.

Ex-United star Neville later expanded on his response, telling Sky Sports: "He's a huge talent, I actually liked him when he was at the club as a kid," Neville told Sky Sports.
"It's not a personal thing, but Paul Pogba there's no doubt has fallen out with the manager - doesn't believe in him, doesn't like him, doesn't think he's a good coach probably.
"And vice versa Jose Mourinho doesn't think Paul Pogba is as talented a player as he thinks he is.
"So there's been a complete breakdown probably in the last 12 months and there's no doubt there's a high level of dislike there.
"However, Jose Mourinho lost his job this morning, and Paul Pogba and his people put that Instagram post out.
"I don't fall for this coincidence, scheduled tweet nonsense, it's garbage, absolute garbage.
"I think he probably would have liked to have gone public earlier, on Jose Mourinho, I think he would have liked to have gone public a lot earlier on how the club is at this moment in time.
"But on Jose Mourinho's side I bet when Paul Pogba won the World Cup in the summer, I bet he thought he was coming back to an impossible situation, where basically he thought, 'This player's going to be out of control now'.
"Manchester United are a better team with Paul Pogba in it, but I do believe that, this morning, to dance on the grave of the manager who's just been sacked is out of order."
