Did he know the manager has been sacked? It\u2019s hard for me to comment on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I think what\u2019s obvious is that he wasn\u2019t getting on with the manager. Paul Pogba for me has been a major disappointment. He must have been a major disappointment for the manager.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a player that really you should be building your team around, he\u2019s got all the qualities to be a fabulous football player except what that real desire to be one?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he\u2019s got caught up in all the hype surrounding big players and football today. \u201cI think the manager referred to that on several occasions, they listen to their entourage rather than what football people have to say to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPaul Pogba has been a major disappointment to Manchester United. He really needs to have a close look at himself. He could be a fabulous player, he really could. With the skill he possesses, the God given athleticism he has but he just gets in his armchair too readily.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never see him come off and thing \u201ccor, he\u2019s put a shift in today\u201d. I see a player come off and have done nice things but as many good things as he\u2019s done, he\u2019s done as many bad things by giving the ball away cheaply, not tracking players, not doing the things that proper players do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pogba will hope to feature for United when they tackle Cardiff City on Saturday evening in the Premier League fixture at Old Trafford.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool legend, Graeme Souness has slammed Manchester United midfielder, Paul Pogba over his reaction to the sacking of manager, Jose Mourinho.
