Ruud Gullit has fired a warning to Paul Pogba that his risks a similar fate to Memphis Depay if he fails to focus on his day job at Manchester United.

Pogba, 23, is a huge brand off the field and has had the spotlight placed on his flashy style while enduring an up-and-down first season after an £89million world-record move from Juventus.

And Gullit says the star midfielder should learn a lesson from Depay, who flattered to deceive at Old Trafford before being turfed out to Lyon in £17m deal this week.
