Sad Pog in United quit fear

PAUL INCE fears Paul Pogba could quit Manchester United in the summer.

Reports in France claim Pogba (below) is now disillusioned with life at Old Trafford, especially since the arrival of Alexis Sanchez last month.

Former United star Ince believes the French midfield superstar could be on his way out at the end of the season.

“If what is being said about Pogba is true, that he regrets joining Man United, then I would be disappointed but not surprised,” said Ince.

“I can understand why Pogba might feel irritated with the position

Mourinho (below) currently has him playing in. He likes to roam, he likes to attack, he wasn’t signed to be a holding midfield player and that’s clearly not what he enjoys or is best at.

“So why does he insist on playing him there?

“The signals that are coming from Pogba is that he is not happy, and if he doesn’t feel like he fits in then I could see him leaving in the summer. He’s one of the best players in the world and deserves to be played in his right position where he can show that off and express himself.

“Since Alexis Sanchez joined the club Pogba’s confidence and mood seems to have gone in the opposite direction to earlier in the season. He looks like a totally different player.

“It’s probably due to the fact that pre-Sanchez, he was the main man. He was the kingpin and the one everyone was talking about. But the arrival of the Chilean has taken the shine off him. What I would say is, at Man United, you’re all main men. You should all perform like that.”

United are still second in the Premier League and face Huddersfield tomorrow in the fifth round of the FA Cup before a Champions League trip to Sevilla. But Ince believes they are still lagging behind their domestic rivals. “United aren’t as impressive as any of their rivals,” said Ince. “I can’t believe I’m sitting here saying this, that after all the cash Mourinho has spent, they still don’t look as impressive as City, Liverpool or Tottenham.”
