Ferdinand and Van Persie urge Pogba to speak out on 'mysterious' Man Utd situation

The French midfielder has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford after missing the last two games through a reported ankle injury

Former Manchester United stars Rio Ferdinand and Robin Van Persie have urged Paul Pogba to “speak out” about his current situation.

The midfielder missed the club’s victory over Burnley on Saturday, and was absent from the squad on their trip to Arsenal on New Year’s Eve, despite travelling to France to coach in a charity match involving his brothers.

Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer explained that the France international is out “for a while” with an ankle injury , but some of the club’s former players believe the situation needs to be cleared up as soon as possible.
