POG ‘UNHAPPY’ AT SECOND FIDDLE

- BY DAVID MCDONNELL

OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER has admitted Paul Pogba is unhappy with his bit-part role. Manchester United’s £89million club record-signing has started just one of the last four Premier

League games and is no longer an automatic pick.

During the internatio­nal break, France boss Didier Deschamps claimed Pogba (right) was upset by his lack of game-time at United and being played out of position.

But United boss Solskjaer revealed: “I spoke to Paul today about it. Of course he’s not been happy when he’s not playing, and not playing really well.

“It’s about getting momentum. He felt strong towards the end against Portugal and Sweden, which is natural because he’s had Covid and he needed time.”
