Pogba misrepresented in the media - Deschamps

France head coach Didier Deschamps has defended Paul Pogba, insisting the Manchester United midfielder is completely different to his media image.

Pogba was told by Jose Mourinho this week that he would not captain Manchester United again, before the pair were filmed having a row in training.

He was then substituted in United's 3-1 defeat at West Ham on Saturday, with the player failing to acknowledge Mourinho as he left the pitch.

Deschamps said that Pogba cannot be expected to do everything on his own and needs to be part of a cohesive team unit to play his best football.
