Kleberson tells Man Utd: Sell Pogba; I wish I had his playing chances

Former Manchester United midfielder Kleberson believes Paul Pogba needs to be sold.

The Brazilian says Pogba has failed to live up to expectations.

He told Your-promotional-code.co.uk, “It is the right move to sell Paul Pogba, he's a great player and his talent is unbelievable. But his style is a little bit different, and not particularly what Man United need. He could use this opportunity now to leave and get a fresh start, play in a different atmosphere, and embrace a new challenge. Sometimes it's hard to come to Manchester United and adapt to play a particular style.

"It doesn't mean he's not a good player with great quality. There's a lot of criticism around the players, sometimes it doesn't always go well. You work hard, you want to perform for the team, but some things go wrong, and these can be out of your control."

Kleberson also lamented, “Paul Pogba had played a lot more games, more opportunities than me when I was at Man United. I had many injuries in the time when I was there. He's played well since being there but not to the level we should expect from him.

"When he plays for France, we see it, he was a massive part of them winning the World Cup. He's the heartbeat of the France team. “
