Manchester United star Paul Pogba tells pals he must adapt to Alexis Sanchez after dip in form
The £89milllion midfielder has gone off the boil since the Chile striker completed his switch from Arsenal
PAUL POGBA has told pals he must adapt to Alexis Sanchez at Manchester United.
The Premier League’s most expensive player has suffered a dip in form since Sanchez’s arrival from Arsenal.
Ex-United midfielder Paul Ince insists it is down to Pog no longer being the “main man” at Old Trafford.
And the France international has admitted privately that he is still getting used to Sanchez being in the team.
United’s play has gone through Pogba since his return to the club from Juventus at the start of last season
But Sanchez is now the ‘go-to’ player for United team-mates when they have the ball.
Mourinho has dismissed suggestions of a rift with his record signing and said: “Paul accepts he has not been playing well but that's all.”
He was dropped for the Prem clash against Huddersfield earlier this month after a poor display against Tottenham when Mourinho had a heated discussion on the touchlines with him.

The United boss has claimed that he has no idea when the France international will return to the squad.
He said: "I don't know if he's out for long and honestly I don't care.
"I focus on the game and just on the game. I will think about Paul after the match."
The Reds return to action on Wednesday with a huge Champions League crunch clash against Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium.
