# Manchester United: Fans slam Paul Pogba’s display against Aston Villa

**A number of Manchester United fans have criticised the display of Paul Pogba in their 1-0 loss at home to Aston Villa at Saturday lunchtime.**

It was a disappointing performance at Old Trafford all round from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team, who conceded to a Kortney Hause goal from a late corner kick, before Bruno Fernandes blazed a penalty way over the bar in injury time.

Pogba was certainly not at his best, losing out on six of his duels – the most of any of his teammates – as he also failed to make any accurate crosses or long balls and lost possession of the ball on 21 separate occasions, the most out of any outfield player ([Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/aston-villa-manchester-united/KP)).

It does beg the question whether Solskjaer should continue [playing him off the left](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/paul-pogba/leistungsdaten/spieler/122153), or restore him to his [more natural centralised position](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/paul-pogba/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/122153).
