Hargreaves tells Man Utd: Pogba must always play

Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves says Paul Pogba must play.

Pogba started for victory at Sheffield United last night.

"Paul Pogba - whether you love him or you don't - he's a fabulous player," he told Premier League Productions. "You've got to get him on the pitch

"I don't care that Bruno is in there, he's a fabulous player, but play them all together. Look at these guys, what they can do. Look what they can create. This is what you pay for from Pogba.

"Paul and Bruno are on the same page, they barely have to look at each other, this is how good they are. Paul is the deeper one. Bruno likes to be a bit higher up the pitch. The front three are creating the space.

"When you see it all together, you think 'Jesus - these guys could destroy you.'

"Paul knows where Bruno is. Bruno knows where Mason is and then Marcus can get in there. How good is that? Get the boys on the pitch and let them figure it out - they don't have to make eye contact and they can create like that.

"Over the course of 90 minutes, with Bruno, United are going to beat teams. Over the course of 38-game season, if those boys are trusted to play with that front three, forget top four - United might challenge for the league again."
