Man Utd news: Paul Pogba was described as 'nowhere near a £90million player'

United fought back from 2-0 down to earn a point at St Mary’s. Jose Mourinho had to change things around after injuries to Chris Smalling, Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof. Scott McTominay and Nemanja Matic made up a makeshift back three alongside Phil Jones. But it was not the defence that faced criticism from BeIN Sports pundit Andy Gray.

The former Sky Sports man hit out at their midfield, particularly Paul Pogba. “They have Fellaini in the midfield, there’s no quick feet in Marouane Fellaini,” he said. “Pogba is playing like, I don’t know. I don’t know what he’s playing like, but he’s certainly not a £90m footballer the way he’s playing at right now at Manchester United. “He doesn’t dominate the games, and United never changed. They kept three at the back the whole game - why?

“I bet Mark Hughes said at half time that United will come flying at us in the beginning of this second half. For 15-20 minutes, let’s just be aware. And it never happened. It never happened.” The Frenchman has been heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford ever since his relationship broke down with Mourinho at the start of the season. Pogba was caught up in a dressing room spat which the boss which saw him stripped of the vice-captaincy. Despite the fall-out, he has still remained a regular starter in this underperforming United side.
