Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 'doesn't trust' Paul Pogba in Manchester United's central midfield, insists Paul Scholes after Frenchman is DROPPED for Fred for crunch Champions League tie against Atalanta

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has run out of patience with Paul Pogba and no longer trusts him to play in central midfield for Manchester United, according to Paul Scholes.

The 28-year-old was dropped by the Norwegian from the starting XI for the crunch Champions League group match against Atalanta at Old Trafford.

Fellow midfielder Fred was named as Scott McTominay's midfield partner ahead of Pogba, following the latter's disappointing performance in the 4-2 defeat by Leicester at the weekend.

And United midfield great Scholes believes Solskjaer has handed Pogba several chances to impress in a deeper position, but ultimately his inability to show discipline there has cost him.
