Sky Sports pundit Liam Rosenior has suggested Paul Pogba is dragging his Manchester United teammates down.
Pogba was named in the PFA Team of the Year but he has endured a mixed campaign at Old Trafford and was involved in a verbal altercation with a United fan after the defeat by Cardiff on Sunday.
The midfielder has been linked with a summer move to Real Madrid with his future at United uncertain and former Premier League defender Rosenior believes that Pogba makes the United team worse.
Speaking on Sky Sports' The Debate , he said: "Pogba is not the right player that United need right now.
"Is he a world-class footballer? Yes. Is he the type of player that you can use your values, your structure on, make him leader of the team? He's not.
"Liverpool and City are so disciplined. I remember Carrick, his positioning, his selflessness, he made players around him better. Pogba makes players around him worse players, because they constantly have to fill in where he's floating off.

"He's just not the right fit. Liverpool and City are so disciplined.
“I remember [Michael] Carrick, his positioning, his selflessness, he made players around him better. Pogba makes players around him worse players, because they constantly have to fill in where he's floating off."
Rosenior went on to explain that Pogba isn’t the leader United fans expected him to be when he returned to Old Trafford from Juventus in 2016.
He said: "I think too much has been placed on his shoulders to be the leader that he's not.
“I saw him play in the France team and run the show and win the World Cup, and the difference is that they have real leaders throughout that team in and around him, influencing him in the right way.
"Every player is a different personality."
