Manchester United: Fans slam Paul Pogba after Didier Deschamps comments

Plenty of Manchester United fans have been slamming Paul Pogba as Didier Deschamps commented on his situation with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team.

As per France Football (via United Zone), the France national team boss said:

“Paul, I know him well and he knows the group well. He is in a situation with his club where he cannot be happy, neither with his playing time nor with his positioning.”

Indeed, this is a pretty big claim to make as it suggests that Pogba is not happy at the Red Devils and thus, that he may want to seek a move away from Old Trafford as soon as possible.

The France international has only completed the full 90 minutes twice all season and has been used both as a defensive midfielder and as a central midfielder (Transfermarkt).

Perhaps with the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Donny van de Beek to choose from, Solskjaer does not know where best to play Pogba, and given that the 27-year-old cost a club-record £94.5m from Juventus back in August 2016, he should probably be getting more game time.

Nonetheless, it may be a wise idea for United to sell him for a good price and use the cash to invest in other areas of the squad that perhaps need strengthening.

He’s been dropped for a reason if he’s just gonna sulk then he doesn’t deserve to be in this team he has to be ambitious and fight to start again and right now he is nowhere near starting every game in my opinion
