Liverpool legend Carragher: Man Utd must sell Pogba

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher says Manchester United should sell Paul Pogba after the sacking of Jose Mourinho.

Carragher wrote for the Telegraph: "Pogba is the symbol of this within United's squad, his poorly-timed social media point - intended or coincidental - symptomatic of the disconnect between the manager and star player. United have sent a strong message by sacking Mourinho. They should be equally strong in their attitude to Pogba and sell him if his valuation is met.

"A club can no more be about one player as it can the manager. Pogba may be top class, but he has never shown it in England and there are plenty of elite European clubs performing well without him.

"Toxic personalities are of no use to a club. They destabilise everything.

"Unfortunately, just as at Chelsea, Mourinho has gone that way once more. I am not sure we will see him again in English football, which is a shame."
