‘Pogba only plays to keep his transfer value up’ – Souness launches scathing attack on Man Utd ace

The France midfielder is "selfish" and does not deserve to be in the Red Devils' team on merit, the ex-Liverpool boss has said

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has come under fire from Liverpool legend Graeme Souness, who has accused the World Cup winner of being “selfish” and only in the team to keep his sell-on value high.

The Red Devils have made a slow start to the Premier League season and have suffered successive defeats against Brighton and Tottenham, and Souness does not believe that the 25-year-old is pulling his weight.

Indeed, he claims that Pogba would not even be in Jose Mourinho’s starting XI on merit.
