Liverpool legend Graeme Souness says the demise of Jose Mourino falls at the feet of Paul Pogba.

United announced Mourinho was gone yesterday as the club slumped to its worst points return after 17 matches in the Premier League era.

"Paul Pogba has been a major disappointment to Man United and he really needs to have a close look at himself," Souness told Sky Sports.

"He could be a fabulous player, he really could. With the skill he possesses, the God-given athleticism that he has, but he gets into his armchair too readily.

"I never see him come off and think, he has put a shift in today. I see a player come off a football pitch that has done nice things, but as many good things as he has done, he has done equally as many bad things by giving the ball away, not tracking player, not doing the things proper players do."
