Man Utd news: Jose Mourinho told to SELL Paul Pogba - United are better without him
MANCHESTER UNITED should “get rid” of Paul Pogba because they would be better off without him.
Man United should get rid of 'arrogant' Pogba says Alan Brazil
That is the opinion of former Manchester United striker turned radio presenter Alan Brazil.
Brazil was speaking after reports emerged Pogba and United boss Jose Mourinho have had a major bust-up in recent days.
United, however, have rubbished those reports this morning, saying the relationship between the pair is good.
Pogba has been linked with a move away from United and fuelled speculation over his future following the 2-1 win over Leicester last Friday.
I’m not happy with Pogba, I think he’s arrogant, he’s aloof
When asked if he was happy at the Red Devils, the Frenchman told reporters: “There are things, and there are things that I cannot say, otherwise I will get fined.”
Many believe those comments were directed at his manager Mourinho.
And former Scotland international Brazil, who spent two seasons at United between 1984 and 1986, admits he is fed up with Paul Pogba and says United would be stronger if he left.
“I’m not happy with him (Pogba), I think he’s arrogant, he’s aloof,” Brazil said on talkSPORT.
“The way he struts about, if he was playing eight-out-of-ten every week then I’d say, ‘well he’s got a point’, but he hasn’t, not for me.
“You look at (Kevin) De Bruyne, you look at (David) Silva. Week-in, week-out they are brilliant for City.
“This guy comes along, and there’s no doubting his ability, but something is just not right.
“I think Jose is right to say, ‘look, you’re annoying the dressing room, you’re annoying me, you’re annoying the rest of the boys, if you don’t like it, see you later’.
“It’s best to get rid. Yes (I think it would strengthen United), I do.
“Every week I’m reading about it, Pogba, Pogba – I’m sick of it to be honest.”
Manchester United are back in action this Sunday when they face Brighton at the AMEX.
Chris Hughton's side lost their opener 2-0 against Watford last Saturday.
