Manchester United’s midfield is suffering because of Paul Pogba, claims Michael Owen

Former Liverpool forward Michael Owen believes Manchester United’s midfeld is suffering because of Paul Pogba
Pogba, 23, has been used in a number of different positions since his £89million move to Old Trafford in the summer and started in the no.10 position against Liverpool on Monday night.

The Frenchman is yet to justify his enormous price tag and Jose Mourinho’s switched between the likes of Ander Herrera and Marouane Fellaini alongisde Pogba in order to get the best out of the former Juventus star.

Mourinho is yet to settle on his best starting XI at Old Trafford and Owen says he feels ‘sorry’ for Pogba’s team-mates, who he claims are ‘suffering’ because of the Frenchman.

‘I feel sorry for some of the midfielder players,’ Owen told BT Sport before United’s clash with Fenerbahce.

‘Some of them have been in there and not played badly. Herrera’s played well, Fellaini too but Pogba isn’t playing as well as he should be and the others are bearing the brunt of it.

‘Now they’re trying to find others to make Pogba play better. I feel sorry for some of the other midfielders.

‘Pogba is a world class player and they have to get the best out of him but it’s other people that are suffering.

‘It’s like it doesn’t matter how they play, it’s how Pogba plays [that matters].’
