France coach Deschamps: Pogba can't be happy at Man Utd

France coach Didier Deschamps has urged Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba to forget about his problems at Old Trafford.

Deschamps admits Pogba "can't be happy" currently at United.

"It's not a specific case to Paul. It happens at different call-ups, that a player is not so good or is going through a certain situation at his club," he told a news conference.

“It could be Paul, there, and others at a different time, and I will do as I have always done: I will talk with him, to understand, as I don't have all the elements.

“But that's what I told them [the squad] at midday: what happened at the weekend and before is no longer on the agenda. We have to focus on Russia and Colombia. That's part of our job as coaches.

“Obviously, this is a situation he won't appreciate in relation to everything he's done. There can be many, varied reasons. He can't be happy with what he's going through with his club."
