Didier Deschamps has suggested Ole Gunnar Solskjaer doesn't know Paul Pogba very well and therefore can't get the best out of him.
Pogba is under the spotlight at the moment after admitting he is going through a difficult period at Manchester United.
Speculation has once again emerged that the Frenchman, who described playing for his country as a "breath of fresh air", is looking to leave.
Pogba has helped France qualify for the Nations League finals in recent weeks with wins over Portugal and Sweden.
And his national boss, Deschamps, has praised the midfielder's "pride and talent".
"Just see what he was able to do in Portugal and what he did tonight," said Deschamps.
"I know him, I know how he works. He has pride and above all he has talent. When you have to defend, he can defend. When he has the opportunity to express himself, he is able to do so.
"Paul is a top-level player and I hope what he did with us will be useful to him when he gets back to his club."
Pogba certainly seemed more himself playing for France after admitting he's struggling at Old Trafford at the moment.
"I had never known such a difficult period in my career," he said in a recent interview with RTL. "The France team is a breath of fresh air, the group is exceptional, it's magic."
