The Red Devils legend has questioned Pogba’s commitment and is willing to let the French midfielder leave Old Trafford.
Manchester United will not feel lost if Paul Pogba does not play again, claims Paul Scholes, who criticized the midfielder’s horror performance against Liverpool on Sunday (24/10) night WIB.
Pogba was one of the scapegoats for the humiliating 5-0 Premier League defeat at Old Trafford, with the France international having a hand in Liverpool’s fifth goal before being sent off for a foul on Naby Keita.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer brought on Pogba after half-time to try and repair the damage after being four goals down in the opening 45 minutes, but instead of resurrecting the team, he made matters worse and Scholes questioned his future at the club.

Transfer rumors have indeed accompanied Pogba in recent months, after being redeemed for £89 million from Juventus in 2016. It was later reported that he was delaying signing a new contract amid interest from Real Madrid.
Pogba’s performance against Liverpool was the final benchmark for Scholes, who told Premier League Productions on his disappointment with the player being seen as disrupting the team’s harmony: “Paul Pogba goes on the pitch to try to help the team and maybe get a little bit of responsibility, try to have the ball, try to show how strong he is in midfield… just get the opponent a goal.”
“Then he was kicked out [wasit] with a silly tackle, now you’re 5-0 down with 10 men. You have to think, if Ole was still the manager there, would we see Pogba in a United shirt again?”
