Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson says Manchester United need to use Paul Pogba to bring Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale back to the Premier League.

Indeed, Lawrenson thinks that the Red Devils would be on the winning end of such a transaction.

He told the Daily Star: “In terms of Paul Pogba, I'm just so not convinced.

“If you could swap him Gareth Bale, swap him all day.

“I think Bale is a big-game player and will get you loads of goals.

“He's also left-sided which is unusual. That might be the way forward.

“I get the impression that all the players like Pogba.

“You can like him or loathe him, but if one week you're six out of 10 and the next you're eight out of ten it drives the manager mad."
