Pogba's sincerity to Man United in doubt - Don't 'believe a word he says', he 'plays for himself' - Roy Keane

The World Cup winning midfielder's commitment to the cause at Old Trafford has been called into question following a poor run of results.


Roy Keane has given a less than flattering opinion on Paul Pogba, with the former
Manchester United man stating that he feels the midfielder no longer wants to represent the Old Trafford side and that his performances make that clear.

That upturn in form for Pogba has ground to a halt in recent weeks.

Man United fell to Everton 4 - 0 and Man City 2 - 0.

Keane, however, is far from sure of Pogba's sincerity.

“I wouldn't believe a word he says,” the former Red Devils skipper said ahead of the match. “There's no meaning behind it. I don't even think he believed what he was saying there.

“He talks about being a good team-mate - if you're going to be a good team-mate then you need to run back when you're defending.

“The guy's a talented boy but we're saying the same things over and over again. The number of times I've seen him in games where he's not sprinting back or running back...

“You need good examples at your football club, you need senior players and this is a mature player. He's been in major competitions and won big trophies, but I don't think he leads by example.

"I don't see...his performances and my eyes don't lie to me.

"...He plays for himself.”
