Paul Pogba 'questions Ole Gunnar Solskjaer appointment' as Man Utd crisis deepens

Manchester United star Paul Pogba does not have faith in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their new manager, according to The Sun .

The French World Cup star is said to be "tearing the dressing room apart" having told team-mates the club have failed to make any progress since he first left for Juventus seven years ago.

He is understood to have questioned whether Solskjaer is the right man for the job having been handed the reigns on a permanent basis.

His agent, Mino Raiola, reportedly cancelled a meeting with club bosses last week as Pogba looks to leave the club for Real Madrid in the summer.

The uncertainty surrounding Pogba is causing the crisis at Old Trafford to deepen.

Solskjaer's side suffered their seventh defeat in nine games in the Manchester derby on Wednesday and are set for a huge summer rebuild.

They could have to do it without Pogba, as he looks increasingly likely to depart for La Liga in the summer transfer window.

He is an influential member of the dressing room, and his resistance to Solskjaer's attempts to exert his authority is a major blow to the Norwegian.

Pogba and his team-mates were also reported to be unimpressed with Solskjaer's long-ball tactics against Manchester City .

The United players are aware their colleague wants a move to Madrid and fear Solskjaer is not the man to keep him at the club.

The midfielder had a stunning run of form when Solskjaer first took charge and is still a key part of his future plans.

He was named in the PFA Team of the Year earlier this week - but his form has dipped with United's worsening results in recent weeks as they look set to miss out on Champions League qualification.
