Paul Pogba had to play in different positions for Man United because key strikers weren't available, says Ralf Rangnick, after Frenchman complained about his Old Trafford role and declared the season 'dead'

Ralf Rangnick has responded to Paul Pogba's perceived complaint about having to play in different positions for Manchester United.

Rangnick sidestepped those remarks but did address Pogba's positional changes by saying they were forced by injuries to other players.
