Paul Pogba 'cannot be happy' about his situation at Man Utd, says France coach Didier Deschamps
France coach Didier Deschamps has voiced his concern at Paul Pogba’s current troubles at Manchester United and admitted the midfielder “cannot be happy” about the situation.
Pogba’s relationship with United manager Jose Mourinho has come under the spotlight after the Frenchman’s recent fall from favour.
He has started just four of United’s past 11 matches owing to poor form as well as injury and illness and was an unused substitute for the FA Cup quarter-final win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
Pogba is in France’s squad for their forthcoming friendlies against Colombia and Russia but Deschamps said he planned to talk to the player to discuss his present struggles at Old Trafford.
“This is a situation that he must not appreciate because of everything he would have been able to offer,” Deschamps said. “There must be numerous reasons. He cannot be happy with what he is going through with his club.
Man Utd: What exactly were you expecting when you hired Jose Mourinho?
“It's not specific to Paul. It can happen elsewhere that a player is a bit down or is going through a particular situation with his club.
“That could be Paul now, or others at other times, and I will do as I always do and talk to that player to understand better, because I don't have all the information.”
