Sheringham urges Man Utd to sell 'wrong vibes' Pogba

Treble winner Teddy Sheringham says Manchester United must sell Paul Pogba this summer.

Sheringham doubts whether the Frenchman will "dig deep" when necessary and claims he gives off the "wrong vibes".

He told Sky Sports: "The big one for me is Pogba. There's been a lot of talk about him.

"When you mention top players captains, when things weren't going right in our time, Roy Keane would put things right, he would drive things on, dig deep, he would make sure he had a say in every game we played in, because of his desire.

"When you look at Paul Pogba, does he have the same mentality? Yes he might be a talented boy, but does he really dig deep, does he get United out of the mire when the going gets tough?

"For me the answer is no. He gives off the wrong vibe as a Man Utd player. Yes it's good to be cocky and arrogant at the right times - I'd say Dwight Yorke had that as well - but he had a desire to do things right as well, at the right times, and I think you've got to have that.

"I don't think Paul Pogba gives you that and I think he would be one that would need to go so you can get someone else in with the right mentality and the right desire and the Man Utd way to make sure you get out of the position that you're in and move the club forward."
