Paul Pogba has been reminded that football is a team sport and he should go and play snooker if he wants it to be "all about him".
The Manchester United midfielder could soon be heading out of the club after comments made by his agent Mino Raiola.
He claims the Frenchman's time at Old Trafford is "over" and that Pogba hasn't been able to express himself in Manchester.
"Paul is unhappy at Man Utd, he can't manage to express himself like he wants to and like people expect him to," said Raiola.
"He needs to change team, he needs a change of scenery."
But Paul Merson has been quick to remind him that he is playing a team sport - not an individual one.
And referenced the conduct of Harry Kane in a defensively minded Tottenham team which has forced the striker to alter his game.
Merson told Sky Sports : "Raiola says the style of football doesn't suit him. He's playing in a football team. He's not a snooker player. He plays with 10 other players. You join a team.
"It's not like Man Utd are the most defensive team you've ever seen. Look at Tottenham! I don't hear Harry Kane and Son moaning. Go and play snooker if you want it to be all about you.
"He knew the statement was going out. It's his agent. He might play dumb, he might turn around say he didn't know, but of course he knows.
"He'll also know there's a club interested in him. Raiola would have spoken to a club that is interested in Paul Pogba.
"They're not going to mug themselves off by saying: 'Paul wants to leave' and then nobody comes in for him. Everything is already sorted on Pogba's side of it!
"An agent doesn't come out and say a player wants to leave without interest there. Pogba knows full well what his agent is doing: Raiola has a club for him.
"You keep on hearing about Ronaldo coming back to Man Utd - that could he a shout - Pogba for Ronaldo?"
