Pogba can’t be happy with the situation in Man Utd, says Deschamps

MANCHESTER – Paul Pogba “cannot be happy” with the situation he is in at Manchester United, France head coach Didier Deschamps said on Monday.

The French midfielder has started just four of United’s seven Premier League games this season, and only one of three in the Champions League. Pogba’s future at United remains uncertain after he suggested last month that he “dreams” of playing for Real Madrid.

“He’s in a situation with his club where he can’t be happy, neither with his playing time nor with his positioning,” Deschamps told reporters.

“He is not in his prime, he has had a series of injuries and the Covid-19 that has hit him quite hard. You need to find your rhythm.

“For me, there is no such concern. When a player is uncomfortable at his club, obviously he is happy to play for the France team. He will tell me his feelings and as I know him very well, he will go” in a positive direction. “
