Paul Pogba and Jose Mourinho's issues will result in one of them leaving the club in the summer according to pundit and former Everton player Kevin Kilbane.

The Frenchman's form has dipped in recent weeks and the United boss made the decision to drop him to the bench for the home league game against Huddersfield and again for the Champions League game against Sevilla.

And former Everton defender Kilbane believes if things don't improve either Mourinho or Pogba will be off in the summer.

"Particularly internally, he has given Pogba the message that he is the boss and the Frenchman is not bigger than him nor is he bigger than the club," he told Boyle Sports.

"I think this stand off needs to be sorted quickly or there could be problems in the summer.

"If it doesn’t get worked out as soon as possible and if it drags on to July, one or the other will leave the football club.

"United have put so much of their efforts into marketing Paul Pogba in such a way that it may have been in detriment to the player; they’ve used him as a PR man or a marketing tool for the club and he hasn’t justified that on the pitch."

Despite the rumours of a rift, Mourinho spoke highly of United's record signing ahead of the game against Chelsea.

"He took 10 seconds to be ready to come to the pitch, to show the professionalism and show he was ready to help the team," he said.

"He responded very well in a professional way both times, he was on the bench against Huddersfield in the Premier League and he responded in a pro way and he was on the bench in Seville and did the same."
