Paul Pogba's brother claims Man Utd have only one 'great player' as he discusses failed transfer

Paul Pogba's brother has discussed the Frenchman's failed transfer away from Manchester United this summer.

Pogba publicly stated his intention to leave Old Trafford for a new challenge but failed to secure a move away, despite interest from Real Madrid and Juventus .

Real boss Zinedine Zidane was desperate to lure his countryman to the Bernabeu while Juve were keen on a return for the midfielder who left Turin for United three years ago.

But he has remained at the Theatre of Dreams and brother Mathias says he is focused on the job in hand - because United have only one 'great player' in David De Gea.

"Paul knows that he cannot leave Manchester United so he’s going to focus on this season," Mathias told El Chiringuito.

"It’s not easy right now, because he has a lot of responsibility in the team. A lot of big players have left.

"The only great player is De Gea, the goalkeeper, which means he’s going to have to put a lot of effort in every game."

Pogba has started each of United's four Premier League games so far this season, but is yet to find the net.

The Red Devils beat Chelsea 4-0 on the opening day but have failed to win since, drawing at Wolves and Southampton and losing at home to Crystal Palace .
