Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has criticised Paul Pogba after he was sent off during his former club’s 5-0 loss to Liverpool on Sunday.

Pogba was brought on at half time against Liverpool. The hosts were already 4-0 down at Old Trafford when he came on.

Man United’s day was made worse in the second half. Pogba lost possession as Mohamed Salah completed his hat-trick to make it 5-0.

The French midfielder was sent off soon after. This came as a result of a poor late challenge on Liverpool’s Naby Keita.

Pogba’s current contract at Man United is set to expire in 2022. He has been linked with a move to Real Madrid of late.

As reported by the Daily Mail, Scholes has suggested that Pogba has shown a lack of “discipline” and he has been “disrespectful” to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his teammates:

“To say a disappointing day would be a complete understatement,” Scholes said.

“I think we all realise it’s been difficult, I just think the manager got caught up in the emotion of the comeback [against Atalanta in the Champions League] on Wednesday night.

“We keep going back to that game but you were never going to do that against Liverpool, they have too much quality.

“I don’t think it was a lack of effort. I think tactically they were set up in a way where this could happen and unfortunately it did happen.

“Paul Pogba coming on to the pitch at half-time to try and help the team and maybe get a little respectability about it, tries to stand on the ball, tries to show how strong he is in the middle of the pitch… gives the goal away.

“Then later on gets sent off with a ridiculous tackle. Now you’re 5-0 down with 10 men. You’d have to think, if Ole’s still a manager there, will we see Pogba again in a United shirt?

“He’s caused mayhem over the last couple of years. Everyone knows what a talent he is, everybody trusts him, every manager trusts him, tries to give him his head and let him be the player he’s been.

“But with all the commotion, not signing his contract, almost holding the club to ransom. Then he comes on and does something like that.

“It’s not Ole’s fault, don’t get me wrong. But that’s part of it which almost summed the United performance up today.

“Look, he probably will play [again] won’t he? But I don’t think they will be missing anything if he doesn’t.

“He’s had numerous chances, he keeps saying he lacks consistency, but that is just [a lack of] discipline and disrespect for your manager and your team-mates, what he’s done today.”
