Man Utd legend Scholes: Mourinho has lost trust in Pogba

Published on: 22 February 2018

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes Jose Mourinho has lost confidence in Paul Pogba.

The Frenchman, 24, started from on the bench for Wednesday's 0-0 Champions League draw at Sevilla despite being declared fit after a mystery illness.

Scholes said on BT Sport: “Mourinho has lost some trust in him. It's a big European away game and he doesn't play the position particularly well defensively.

“He's got it all going forward and more ability than the three playing tonight, but with his positional sense Mourinho wants that solidity.

“This is a lad with real talent and he is someone who needs to be told his job – at the minute he doesn't understand it.

“He's so quick, strong and powerful, and he's a real asset to the team when on form. For two or three years he was one of the best in the world because he knew his job.

“But with United you don't know how they will play. Eighteen months into his career and we are still asking: 'Where is his best position?'"
