Neville on Pogba: As Man Utd fan I say sell

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has raised the prospect of Paul Pogba being sold.

Barcelona stars have been queuing up to publicly call on him to join them at the Nou Camp.

And Neville told The Times: “Neville the pundit on Pogba would say, 'He's a talented player but I want to see more consistency and leadership'.

“As a fan, honestly, part of me is that no one is bigger than the club and I am not interested in people who are looking left and right.

"So Paul, if you want to go play somewhere else, let's make that work for you because Manchester United will be fine, don't worry about that.

“The owner in me would do what United are doing at the moment, saying he is not for sale.

"They have to protect their asset but privately they might be doing a deal because they want to get their £90million back.

“If I was still in that dressing room giving personal advice it would be, 'Paul, it's obvious you want to play somewhere else but be professional. Don't be someone who is seen as a mercenary or a mutineer. You don't need to do that.'

“So there are four ways to look at it — pundit, owner, fan, a personal word."
