Man Utd news: Paul Merson makes huge Paul Pogba claim ahead of Swansea clash

That is the view of Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson.

Pogba has had a difficult 2018 having been dropped by Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho numerous occasions and substituted after ineffective performances and reports have suggested the 25-year-old and the Portuguese are not on speaking terms.

But during the international break, Pogba scored from a free-kick and produced an impressive all-round display as France beat Russia on Tuesday.

Nevertheless, despite the possible boost for his confidence, Merson doesn’t think the midfielder will face the Swans.

Merson told Sky Sports: “Man Utd just don’t blow teams away.

“You look at the game and Swansea will sit 11 behind the ball and make it difficult, but Man Utd just don’t have the guile to break teams down.

“I’ve watched them play enough times this season and I don’t see them winning 5-0 or 6-0.

“For me, Paul Pogba has to play where he plays for his country which is further forward because he’s not a holding midfield player.

“I don’t think he’s disciplined enough for that job and he wants to get on the ball and make things happen, but I think there is a bit of a risk there now.

“I’d be shocked if he played, if I’m honest.”
