Scholes slams 'disrespectful' Pogba after Liverpool horror show

Manchester United "won't miss anything" if Paul Pogba doesn't play again, according to Paul Scholes, who slammed the "disrespectful" midfielder after his horror showing against Liverpool on Sunday.

Pogba had an afternoon to forget as United were thrashed 5-0 by their arch-rivals at Old Trafford, with the Frenchman guilty of gifting Liverpool their fifth goal before being shown a red card for a two-footed challenge on Naby Keita.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer brought Pogba on at half-time to try and limit the damage after a disastrous first half for his side, but he only made matters worse, and Scholes has now called his future at the club into question.

Transfer rumours have surrounded Pogba throughout his second stint with United, who paid £89 million to bring him back from Juventus in 2016, and he is reportedly stalling on signing a new contract amid interest from Real Madrid.

Pogba's performance against Liverpool was the final straw for Scholes, with a club legend telling Premier League Productions of his disappointment in a disruptive figure: "Paul Pogba coming on to the pitch at half-time to try to help the team and maybe get a little respectability, tries to stand on the ball, tries to show how strong he is in the middle of the pitch… gives the goal away.
