Arsenal legend Henry tells Man Utd boss Mourinho: You're getting Pogba wrong

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry says Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is playing Paul Pogba out of position.

Pogba has struggled for consistency during his debut season at Old Trafford following his £89m move from Juventus last summer.

"It was always going to be difficult for Paul Pogba," Henry told Sky Sports.

"They don't use Pogba where he should be playing - he's not a holding midfielder. He likes to play higher or off the left.

"You lose a bit of him when he plays deeper. When you have a price tag like his, people are always going to talk. It could be good if someone comes in during the summer with a bigger price tag, then people might leave Pogba alone.

"I think his second season can be better. He's got much more to offer."
