Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been told by Jamie Carragher to let Paul Pogba leave the club this summer.
Pogba continues to be linked with a move away from Old Trafford with Real Madrid termed as a possible destination for the French international. The World Cup winner has been flirting with Madrid since the return of countryman Zinedine Zidane. Pogba’s recent form has been questioned by a number of pundits and Carragher thinks the best time to let the midfielder leave is this summer.
“If Real Madrid have £100 million and Zinedine Zidane wants him, United can solve the first of many problems as their long reconstruction gets underway,” he wrote on his column.
“There is a massive gulf between Pogba’s influence at United and the standards set by David Silva, De Bruyne and Fernandinho a few miles away. For them, bad games are rare,” he continued.
“There are no brief, explosive spells during a season, but consistent, top-level performances, bringing the best from themselves and – just as importantly – those around them.”
Carragher believes the speculation around his future is enough of a reason for United to get rid.
