The last thing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants is for it to interfere more in Manchester United’s affairs, but that’s precisely what it has.
While club football takes a position for a few weeks, it is the turn of foreign groups to take the lead in the last pause in this aspect of Christmas.
Paul Pogba is one of many players who will play for his country, and it is his foreign coach, Didier Deschamps, who has explored why he plays.
“I know him well and he knows the band well. He is on stage with his club where he is satisfied with his playing time or positioning,” Deschamps said at a press conference on Monday, as quoted through the Daily Mail.
“He is not in his most productive stage, he has a series of injuries and the Covid-19 that hit him quite hard. You want to locate your rhythm.
“The match he had to play last month intelligently and consistently despite the lack of pace. However, you can’t say it’s done in what you do at your club.
“For me, there is no such concern, but I also seek to manage it. When a player feels uncomfortable at his club, he is obviously satisfied to play for the French national team. “
“He’ll tell me his emotions and since I know him very well, he’ll pass in one direction. Although it is also up to him to make all his efforts.
While it is transparent enough that Pogba will nevertheless be on his way to new pastures by the end of the season, Deschamps’ intervention will have done him no favors.
The player does not get a loose pass for his decision alone, it has to turn out that he is worthy of a position in the United States and has missed it this season.
