Paul Pogba told he 'should be embarrassed' by his 'poor' Manchester United career

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba 'should be embarrassed' after suffering a 'poor' second spell at the club, according to Paul Parker.

The Frenchman has made just 23 appearances for United in all competitions this season. Since returning to Old Trafford in 2016, the World Cup winner has struggled to justify the hefty price tag paid for his services.

United had hoped his signing would help them challenge for silverware on both the domestic and European stage, though trophies have been few and far between in his second spell in Manchester. Triumphs in the League Cup and the Europa League will be all Pogba has to show for his return to United if he does leave on a free this summer.

The Manchester Evening News understands that United are preparing for life without Pogba next season and according to Parker, the 29-year-old will be no great loss. Speaking to MyBettingSites, he said: "There’s been good games, I don’t think there’s been very, very good games, I don’t think there’s been outstanding games.

"When you look at a player with that pedigree, what he costs, he’s a World Cup winner – he hasn’t done himself any justice at all. If I was him, if you could look at yourself, you’d be a little bit embarrassed.

"You’ve come to a great club like Man United and you haven’t delivered. You can use all the excuses you want about it, the ability is with you and what you’ve got to do is show your ability. They haven’t done that.
