Pogba has been nothing but problems since return to Man Utd – Ince
Former Red Devil’s midfielder, Paul Ince has waded into the Paul Pogba- Manchester United saga with Ince claiming the Frenchman has been nothing but problems since his return to Old Trafford.
The Real Madrid target re-joined United from Juventus four years ago in a £100million deal having survived a fall-out with sacked Jose Mourinho.
Speaking to Ladbrokes, Ince said: ‘I love Pogba. I think he’s a world-class player on his day. We saw that at Juventus. But since he’s come to Manchester United it’s been nothing but problems
‘Under Jose Mourinho and things with his agent, there’s always something. His performances haven’t been up to scratch, the fans have almost gone against him.
‘If I was playing with him, I’d be saying “listen, you just go out there and play. Go out there and start performing. Once you start performing like you should be performing, then you can talk about wanting to sign for Real Madrid, because at the moment you can’t even get into the Man United side”
‘If I’m Paul Pogba, I’m sitting on the bench thinking “hang on, I’ve got Fred, Scott McTominay and Bruno Fernandes all playing in midfield and I’m sat on the bench? There’s got to be something wrong with me.”
‘Man United is not about Paul Pogba.’
Fellow creative midfielder Bruno Fernandes has been favoured by Solskjaer this season while the United boss has rotated in the middle of the park during a disappointing start to the season.
Pogba played just 29 minutes of United’s shock 2-1 defeat by Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League on Wednesday and is competing with Nemanja Matic, Fred, Scott McTominay and Donny van De Beek for a spot in the starting line-up.
Man United activated a one-year contract extension of the 27-year-old after admitting he dreams to play for Real Madrid, tying him down till the end of June 2022. [Dailymail]
