Pogba's negative contribution to United in the second half

The French midfielder who was kept on the bench in the first half came in for Mason Greenwood at the start of the second period.

Five minutes later, the 28-year-old then lost possession in the midfield as Jordan Henderson provided a brilliant assist for Mohamed Salah to score Liverpool's fifth goal.

To make matter worse, Pogba was sent off on hour mark for a dangerous tackle on baby Keita who was stretchered off in the process.

What Scholes said

And Scholes claims it was time for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to keep him permanently on the bench following his negative contribution to the team.

He said:

“Paul Pogba coming on to the pitch at half-time to try to 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.
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 teammates, what he’s done today.”

Mayorkun reacts bitterly to Man United's loss to Liverpool at Old Trafford

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh had earlier reported that Man United fans around the world are the saddest people on earth after they were thrashed by Liverpool by 5-0 in front of their home fans.

One of the unhappy people is Nigerian music artist Maryorkun after witnessing the loss at Old Trafford.

Mayorkun's fellow music colleague Burna Boy and Davido have visited the Theatre of Dreams this season and United were still in top form.
