Redknapp: Pogba a real problem for Man Utd and Mourinho

Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp believes Paul Pogba's problems at Manchester United are down to the player.

Redknapp wrote for the Daily Mail: "Paul Pogba is a real problem. Jose Mourinho clearly has an issue with his attitude and that discord is going to divide the dressing room.

"Feuds like this don't go away, this is a wound that won't heal in a hurry. Pogba and Mourinho both have big egos, but one of them is going to have to relent for the good of the club.

"If I was Jose, I'd say to Pogba, 'You're at a fantastic club: get your head down and work for your place'. If he can't get into United's team, he's not going to make Barcelona or Real Madrid's starting eleven.

"He's a player who thrives when he feels trusted — so Mourinho has not helped his confidence by switching him in and out of the side — but it's time he stamps his mark on this team."
