Man Utd hero Ince: Pogba not interested; not bothered

Manchester United Double winner Paul Ince believes Paul Pogba regrets returning to Old Trafford.

Injury has kept Pogba out for the most part, but the Frenchman is increasingly becoming a forgotten figure at Old Trafford, and Ince believes it might finally be time for him to leave.

"The fact is, though, when Pogba plays and he plays well there's no way Ole would drop him. Really, he should be the talisman of that team," Ince told Paddy Power News.

"He should be enthused and excited by the fact that the team could be built around him and he could be the main man, but he doesn't seem interested in that to me.

"He's not bothered about being the captain of Man United. It doesn't excite him to be the talisman of that team.

"It feels as though we all bought into the romance of him returning to Man United. But it's never really happened for him, has it? It's not gone the way either he or the club wanted it to go. I would say he regrets making the move, now.

"You can sense that he wishes he'd gone somewhere else, so just let him go.

"The Return of the Prodigal Son stuff never quite worked out – but people would have more respect for him if he just came out and said that it hasn't played out how he wanted it to."
