France manager Didier Deschamps says Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba “cannot be happy” with his situation at old Trafford.
So far, Pogba has figured in 11 games for United this season but started in just five of those, BBC reports.
Pogba was again on the bench at Everton last Saturday before coming on after 82 minutes in a much-needed 3-1 win for United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
On national assignment, Pogba is with France’s squad for games against Finland, Portugal and Sweden.
In reaction to this development, Deschamps said:
“He is in a situation with his club where he cannot be happy, neither with his playing time, nor with his positioning,”
“He is not in his best period; he has had a series of injuries and the Covid-19 which has hit him quite hard. He needs to find his rhythm.
“With me, there is no such concern. When a player is in discomfort in his club, obviously, he is happy to play for the France team.
“He will tell me about his feelings and, as I know him very well, it will go in a positive direction.”
Pogba, 27, re-joined United when he signed for £89m from Juventus in 2016.
The talented player expressed his feelings concerning Spanish football club, Real Madrid. He said said it was “a dream” for him to play for Real one day, the last time he was on international duty in October.
Later that month, United triggered the one-year option on Pogba’s contract as they extended his deal with them until 2022.
