Didier Deschamps hints at Paul Pogba's unhappiness at Man United 

Pogba has struggled since the start of the current season, moving in and out of the team, followed by coronavirus struggles. Now, France manager Deschamps has stated that Pogba is unhappy at Man United. Solskjaer has opted for the trio of Fred, Scott McTominay and Bruno Fernandes in midfield, much to the Frenchman's dismay. 

Pogba has received the national team call-up for the games against Finland, Portugal and Sweden. Deschamps was quizzed about the midfielder's situation during a press conference this week. The manager did not hide his anguish at his star player's situation with the Old Trafford outfit.

Deschamps hints at Pogba transfer 

The manager insisted that Pogba is facing a situation wherein he cannot be happy with his playing time as well as his positioning. "He is not in his best period, he has had a series of injuries and the COVID-19 which has hit him quite hard. He needs to find his rhythm."

Deschamps, however, insisted he has no such problems with the Man United midfielder. When a player is in discomfort with his club, he finds solace while playing with the French national team, the 2018 World Cup-winning manager stated. Deschamps' comments come after Pogba's statements on Real Madrid's advances during the previous international break.

His agent Mino Raiola has also hinted at a move to the Spanish capital. Moreover, he has also been rumoured to return to Juventus next summer.
