Noted intellect Paul Ince has called Paul Pogba an 'idiot' in a diatribe concerning the latter's on-field performances in this miserable season for Manchester United.
The court of public opinion is turning on Pogba, and with TV studios and newspapers flooded with former Man United players, his performances are under scrutiny like no others.
'Pogba's supposed to be world class, but he looks bang average', Ince told Independent.ie, also calling Pogba's performance against Southampton "atrocious".
If he thinks his place is to come on the pitch and do stupid little flicks and tricks which lead to them losing the ball – he's an idiot.
You can blame Jose Mourinho for some things, but you can't blame him for everything. Pogba doesn't help him himself, and he's right to be dropped.
It doesn't matter how big your name is. No one is too big of a name to be dropped at United, or at least they shouldn't be.
Ince went on to say that he believes that Pogba wants to leave United, and that the fans would be happy to see the back of him.
Pogba is out of form and looks largely disinterested, but to say he's an idiot is a bit unfair - he has made a heck of a lot of money playing in a position in which he doesn't really have the skills to truly excel.
