The Paul Pogba situation has shown that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does not command the same kind of respect as Sir Alex Ferguson, according to Dimitar Berbatov.

Raiola’s comments came in on Monday and dominated the preparation for United’s crucial Champions League game against RB Leipzig on Tuesday.

Solskjaer’s side lost 3-2 in Germany to be eliminated from competition in the group stage and the former United Berbatov striker, who played with Ferguson for four years at the club, believes the situation underscores the decline since the team’s retirement. Scottish in 2013.
“I don’t think this situation would have happened when I was playing for the club with Sir Alex Ferguson in charge, I don’t think anyone would have dared to speak out against the team and the coach, out of respect,” he said. Betfair.
“Yes, once in a while someone would come out and speak out against Ferguson, but not many did. This situation would have been solved and Pogba would be playing or walking out the door. “
Pogba’s future has been the subject of continuous speculation in recent years, as his transfer of £ 89 million to the club from Juventus in 2016 did not work out.
The 27-year-old had an impact off the bench against RB Leipzig, helping United go from 3-0 to 3-2, but couldn’t help but force a result.

Raiola claimed this week that his United career was now “over” before the January transfer window, opening up a possible trade to Real Madrid.
“I am sure that several clubs would be interested in signing Pogba and I have seen a lot of rumors about his association with Zidane at Real Madrid,” Berbatov said.

“As a player you can learn something from each coach, not always good things, in the case of Zidane I’m sure it would be great for Pogba because he played in the same position, and he was the best in that role, he can talk to him about that and they already have that connection that they are both French.
“It may be just a few small things, but Zidane has been there and knows what it takes to be the best midfielder in the world, which is something I would love for Pogba to continue and be.

Surround yourself with people who love you and tell you how good you are, the truth hurts but it can be useful ”.
