Chelsea academy coach Joe Cole believes Paul Pogba is still pushing to leave Manchester United in January.

Pogba missed last night's 2-0 win at Burnley.

Before kickoff, Cole said: "It's getting to that stage of the season where maybe he's looking over his shoulder thinking maybe he could get out of the door in January.

"You don't know whether his agent's telling him clubs can come in or not.

"It's strange that a player of his quality, and fit... after all these months of not playing you're chomping at the bit to play. Any game you're thinking, 'get me on there and get me playing'.

"You just think he would be the one knocking the manager's door down and saying 'I want to play tonight, get me involved."
