Manchester United star Paul Pogba demands Jose Mourinho change his role after Frenchman's abject midfield performances in recent weeks

Paul Pogba has demanded his role in the Manchester United team is changed after the French midfielder has struggled to play in his side's current system in recent weeks.

Pogba has been employed by Jose Mourinho in a deeper midfield role alongside Nemanja Matic, but recent defeats have exposed his defensive struggles and hindered his ability to dictate matches.

The 24-year-old was withdrawn in two of United's last three games, including the away defeats to Tottenham and Newcastle.
