Gary Neville Reveals Problem He Has With Paul Pogba

Manchester United hero Gary Neville has spoken about the problem he has with Paul Pogba

The former United defender is unhappy with how Pogba conducted himself in the aftermath of Jose Mourinho’s dismissal from Old Trafford.

The 25-year-old midfielder wasted no time in airing his views on social media after the United hierarchy sacked Mourinho.

Pogba took to Instagram and posted a picture of himself alongside the words “Caption this!” after the club’s announcement – the post was deleted 10 minutes later.

He claimed the post was scheduled before he was aware of the developments at the club, but Neville isn’t convinced by the player’s reasoning.

“Everyone always concentrates on Paul Pogba,” Neville said.

“I only have one problem with Paul Pogba and that was his post, which I think disrespected Jose Mourinho in losing his job.

“We know it didn’t come from the club, we know it didn’t come from adidas, we know it came from Paul Pogba, so my view personally is that was a massive disappointment to disrespect somebody that’s lost their job.”

Pogba, who earns a reported £300,000 a week, had a troubled relationship with Mourinho, which saw the World Cup winner lose his vice captaincy because of his outbursts.

Neville, who is now a pundit for Sky Sports, called for United to take their time over appointing a new boss.

The Red Devils made the decision to bring in former United cult hero Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to guide the club until to the end of the season.

The Norwegian, who previous managing positions are Cardiff City and Molde, has made an impressive start to his second Premier League appointment.

United have won their first four games under Solskjaer and have scored 13 goals in a more attacking tactical approach.

And Pogba’s form has also seen a dramatic turnaround since the departure of Mourinho.

The France international has four goals and three assists in Solskjaer’s first four games, and he was named United’s Player of the Month for December.
