Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba was by no means the only poor performer in the 4-2 loss to Leicester yesterday but the Frenchman was particularly bad, along with captain Harry Maguire.
The 28-year-old lost possession twelve times, committed six fouls and got a yellow card as the Red Devils struggled at the King Power Stadium. Fans did not hold back in their criticism of the player after the game:
One of his worst performances in a United shirt tbh

He has had an absolute stinker today.

And he’s demanding 500k a week😂😂😂

Other than pulling down players, what has Pogba done today? A £400K contract for this?

He just keeps giving balls away

Pogba’s form for United since the beginning of the season has taken a nosedive. After seven assists in his first four matches, he has now failed to contribute to a goal in his last six games.
It must be said that the majority of his best performances for the club have been on the left wing over the past year, and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s decision to switch him back to a central midfield role in the last three matches has left many supporters scratching their heads. Hopefully, he can put in an improved display versus Atalanta on Wednesday.
