Ince Convinced Pogba’s Time Is Up At Old Trafford

Pogba has started from the bench in each of Manchester United’s last three matches, including big games against Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League and Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.

The 27-year-old Frenchman recently returned to action following a period on the sidelines after contracting coronavirus.

While on international duty with France during the recent international break, Pogba reiterated his dream of playing for Real Madrid but United have triggered a one-year extension of his contract.

After seeing Pogba once again relegated to the substitutes’ bench from the start against Chelsea, Ince is convinced the former Juventus man should be moved on.

"Paul Pogba should be on the pitch, this is a big, big game," the ex-United star told beIN Sport.

"For him to be sitting on the bench and watching, with no disrespect, McTominay and Fred playing in his position, I would be saying, ‘I must be doing something wrong if I can’t get in this team’.

"I know he has had an injury and he might be trying to bring him on a little later on. But I think it is time to move on. He has come out in the last two weeks and said he wants to join Real Madrid.

"I think his performances since he has been here have been inconsistent. Paul Pogba is a world-class player and when he moved to Old Trafford I thought, ‘great’, but all he has done is been a problem. The fans have gone against him and now Bruno Fernandes has come in and shown what you need to do to be a Manchester United player.

"He has performed consistently and Paul Pogba hasn’t done that and that is why he finds himself on the bench."
