EPL: Man United told to sell Paul Pogba immediately

Former Scotland international, Craig Burley, has told Manchester United to sell midfielder Paul Pogba as soon as possible.

Burley said that if he was the Man United manager, he wouldn’t have counted on the France international anymore.

He said this ahead of Man United’s FA Cup tie with Aston Villa on Monday night.

Speaking to ESPN, Burley said, “I can’t get this guy [Pogba] out of the club quick enough; that’s not to say he’s not going to go back to Continental Europe, Italy or Spain and be a success again.

“But in England, where the game is a little bit different, the climate is different, I am not if I’m a new manager at Man Utd going to rely on this guy. I want to get the money for him, whatever I can get and get him out.”

Pogba has entered the final six months of his contract with Man United.

He is free to speak with clubs outside England this January transfer window.

The 28-year-old is still recovering from injury and has not played under interim manager, Ralf Rangnick.
