Pogba has not won a war, he cannot be bigger than Manchester United – Schmeichel

Paul Pogba has not "won a war" against Manchester United, according to Peter Schmeichel, who believes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can help the France star reach his potential.

Solskjaer's temporary tenure at United got off to a flying start on Saturday, as the Red Devils hammered his former club Cardiff City 5-1.

Pogba, left out against Liverpool as Jose Mourinho's spell ended with a 3-1 defeat at Anfield, returned to the side for Solskjaer's maiden game, and took a starring role with two assists.

Mourinho's well-publicised issues with the midfielder added to the troubles at Old Trafford, but Schmeichel insists that the club must not allow Pogba to believe that he is bigger than the club.
