‘He was offering nothing’ – ‘Pathetic’ Pogba slammed by Shearer

The former England striker says the midfielder is "not fit to lace the boots" of the Old Trafford greats and has also taken a swing at Alexis Sanchez

Former England captain Alan Shearer has delivered a damning verdict of Paul Pogba’s recent displays, branding the Manchester United midfielder as “pathetic” for the performance he produced against West Ham at the weekend.

Pressure mounted on the Red Devils after they slumped to a 3-1 defeat away from home on Saturday, with Pogba replaced after 70 minutes by Fred.

The World Cup winner has made the headlines of late due to an ongoing clash with manager Jose Mourinho, which has seen him stripped of the club’s vice-captaincy amid suggestions that he wishes to leave Old Trafford.
