Man Utd news: Two senior players hold showdown talks with Paul Pogba

MANCHESTER UNITED players have been holding showdown talks with Paul Pogba in a bid to save his career.
The France star’s future at Manchester United is uncertain after a difficult second season back at Old Trafford.

Pogba has been in and out the team since the turn of the year and has been substituted in big games.

He was taken off during the defeat to West Brom on Sunday but did keep his place for last night’s win over Bournemouth.

Former United midfielder Paul Scholes claims he could be sold in the summer and called his performances disrespectful.

And it has emerged Michael Carrick and David De Gea have held private talks with Pogba in a bid to turn around his form.
A club source told the Daily Star: “There isn’t a problem with his training or anything like that, while all the stuff that surrounds him off the pitch is being used as a convenient excuse against him.

“But there are problems there for him and two of the senior players took it upon themselves to speak to him in the hope it would help.



“The concern is that the issue appears to be getting worse and in danger of having a negative effect on the squad.”

Pogba was brilliant in the Manchester derby, scoring twice to turn the game around, but was hooked against West Brom before producing a man of the match display last night.

His place in the team for the Tottenham FA Cup semi-final is uncertain.
It was against Tottenham at Wembley in January when Pogba was first substituted for his performance.

Mourinho was seen delivering instructions to the £89m man before growing frustrated and then hooking him.

Mourinho then admitted Pogba and Alexis Sanchez could face the axe for the game this weekend.
And Scholes called Pogba’s performance against West Brom a disgrace.

“From the outside looking in, it looks as though the relationship isn’t great,” he said on BT Sport.

“And when you see a performance like that on Sunday (against West Brom) you think he doesn’t care what the manager thinks.

“I think that’s disrespectful towards the manager and his team-mates.”
