Paul Pogba is "unhappy" at Manchester United and "should leave".
That's the opinion of former Liverpool star John Barnes, who believes there is still a "toxic" atmosphere at Old Trafford, which will only be lifted when the Frenchman moves on.
Barnes' comments follow the claim that Pogba no longer wants to leave United, and is excited by the prospect of playing alongside Bruno Fernandes.
Pogba has been out of action with an ankle injury since Boxing Day but was set to return to training with the first team last week.
But the France international's return has been hampered by the outbreak of the coronavirus, which saw the Red Devils' Carrington training ground closed down.
Pogba's current state of mind is not known, but Barnes is convinced he's still unsettled at United, and has suggested it is time for him to finally leave.
"You simply cannot have an unhappy player at a football club, you can't make them feel more important than the club and fans," Barnes told BonusCodeBets.co.uk.
"Equally, it can undermine the club by being disrespectful because they're not keeping the player happy. It is a ridiculous concept that you need to keep players happy.
"The players should have to keep the manager and the fans happy, and if you don't, then he has to go.
"This whole situation at United, from the outside, it seems like he has so much power at the club which makes everyone talk about him, the situation is so toxic within the club. He should leave."
