Paul Pogba hasn’t made it into the Manchester United dressing room’s ‘cool corner’, reveals Ashley Young
Young says he gets to choose the music in the Old Trafford dressing room and sits with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wayne Rooney and Eric Bailly
ASHLEY YOUNG has opened up about Man United's secretive dressing room culture and revealed which players rule the roost at Old Trafford.
The wing-back says he is popular enough to choose the music for the entire squad and sit in the 'cool corner', which also happens to be where all the phone chargers are.
Unsurprisingly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic managed to grab a spot in the corner, along with captain Wayne Rooney.
However Paul Pogba, who announced he was joining United in a rap video with grime star Stormzy, failed to make the cut.
Young said: ''Now Eric [Bailly] is there, me, Wazza [Rooney] and Ibra, which grabs the attention of the rest of the squad.
''It’s quite a cool corner actually…it’s the corner that everyone looks over, like 'oh, what’s going on over there?'''
"I think it’s because we have the plug sockets as well, and everyone wants to charge phones and laptops before they travel.
United will have more pressing matters to worry about than charging their phones when they take on Zorya Luhansk in Ukraine.

Needing a point to qualify, they will be playing in sub zero temperatures on a potentially icy pitch in Odessa.
Jose Mourinho has criticised UEFA's scheduling of the competition, saying: “The pitch is hard and very icy. Uefa know the conditions of the pitch and everybody knows in mid-December the conditions in Ukraine and Eastern Europe are more difficult.
“If Uefa are worried about it they should change the fixtures and not allow them to be played in mid-December.
“If the fifth fixture is here it’s the end of November and not mid-December and that’s the problem."
Meanwhile a new space in the 'cool corner' is set to be freed up in the next month with Ashley Young expected to leave Old Trafford in January.
Watford, West Brom, Everton and Swansea are among the frontrunners for the 31-year-old's signature.
