“If he can get that best out of him then you keep him because he’s young.

“[Pogba] is going to go anyway, he’s on a free at the end of the season. If Manchester United have got any kind of aspirations [he should go].

“I love Pogba as a player, I really do, but Manchester United fans are becoming sick of saying, ‘We’re waiting for that consistency’. So he’d have to go.”
