Emmanuel Petit explains why Paul Pogba has struggled to perform at Manchester United

Former Arsenal and France midfielder Emmanuel Petit insists the lack of "positive vibes" surrounding Manchester United is what has impacted Paul Pogba's career at Old Trafford so much, insisting he is a different player when he links up with the France squad.

The midfielder, who is out-of-contract at United this summer and set to leave the club in June, has failed to live up to expectations since returning to the club in the summer of 2016. Re-signed from Juventus for a club-record fee of £89million, Pogba has blown hot and cold throughout his second spell as a United player.

This season has been no different. After grabbing a very impressive seven assists in his first four Premier League appearances at the start of the campaign, he has registered just two since, as well as scoring just one goal all season.
