Paul Pogba has laid into his teammates after Manchester United home draw with Wolves this weekend. Painting a picture of frustration, as he has for several months now, the French World Cup winner claimed there was no movement in front of him and that United should attack more at home.
He told reporters: “I’m not the manager, I cannot, like, say that but … obviously, we should show more option of playing but I cannot say that because I’m a player,” Pogba said. “That’s my way of thinking - we should move better, we should move more, yeah.
“I know I lost the ball. Then there were a few more mistakes and not a lot of movement in front because we didn’t really put them in trouble. We are at home and we should play much better against Wolves. When we are at home we should attack, attack, attack. That’s Old Trafford. We are here to attack. I think teams are scared when they see Man United attacking and attacking. That was our mistake.”
Wolves, the visiting side, grew into the game and on balance could have walked away with all three points if it wasn’t for some excellent goalkeeping from David De Gea but Pogba felt his side should have won the game:
"It's true that maybe we should have showed more hunger in some parts. Maybe as well we felt a bit of fatigue because we played Champions League. Maybe he's right, I don't know.
"We didn't lose, but for me we should have won. We are at home, they are three points that we should get.
"We've played six games in the Premier League, it's not that we should get worried, but we should obviously get closer - get closer and closer."
United are already eight points off league leaders Liverpool and will need to get their act together sharpish if they are to contend for the Premier League title.
