Chelsea hero Claude Makelele believes Manchester United's system doesn't suit Paul Pogba.

Pogba appears to be eyeing the exit door just two years after his £89m return to Old Trafford from Juventus.

But Makelele told The Sun: “When I look at the Paul Pogba who plays for France and the one I see wearing a United shirt, it is clear the system is different.

“With France, the system is about position, counter-attack, fast players.

“But United have more possession and they are trying to get Pogba to create more and give more assists and score goals as well. It's too much for him."

Makelele added: “You have to ask him if he is happy to stay but with (Jose) Mourinho you need to learn more about the way you need to be.

“Pogba is a great player but he cannot play alone. He needs team-mates around him to make success.

“If you want him to be better you need to give him time.

“After the World Cup it's so difficult to be physically, tactically and mentally right. When you come back from a competition like that you need four months."
