France icon Desailly slams ‘lazy’ Pogba and says Man Utd star ‘cheats a little bit and doesn’t help defensively’

MARCEL DESAILLY has slammed Paul Pogba as a bit of a ‘cheat’ who’s ‘lazy’ and doesn’t help out sufficient defensively.

The France and Chelsea legend was discussing the explanations behind Pogba being dropped as Manchester United had been dumped out of the Champions League by Atletico Madrid.

Ralf Rangnick selected to go along with Fred and Scott McTominay as his midfield duo, bringing on Pogba late on.

And Desailly believes that’s as a result of Pogba doesn’t present the identical defensive work charge as Fred or McTominay.

The World Cup winner stated on beIN Sport’s protection of the match: “Quality-wise you can not evaluate Pogba to Fred, or McTominay or Matic.

“But he’s lazy, he’s lazy. If you permit him to be a playmaker behind Ronaldo he’ll reap the benefits of it.

“And on the identical time he’ll cheat a little bit.

“He will not drop back and not drop back and help with the midfield with the defensive intensity the team is looking for.”

Fred confirmed why he began forward of the Frenchman with some outrageous ability within the first half.

But neither he nor McTominay might encourage United to victory in an insipid defeat at residence to Atletico.
