Paul Pogba advised to leave Manchester United by ex Leeds star

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has been advised to leave the club by an ex-Leeds player.

The Frenchman whose contract expires at the end of the season has been injured for several weeks and is expected to return to first team action next month.

It is also believed that Pogba will not be a United player at the start of the new campaign.

Speaking to The Sun via freebets.com, Olivier Dacourt believes that the 28-year-old could do with a change of scenery.

"Manchester United are one of the biggest teams in the world," he explained.

"But when you play so many years for one club, sometimes you need change to progress as a footballer.

"You get into bad habits, do the same things over and over again and can end up just going through the motions.

"If Paul decides to leave Manchester United, he needs to join a big club that matches his ambitions and who can give him a real challenge."

One of the teams thought to be interested in Pogba is PSG.

Commenting on the likelihood of him moving to the French capital, Dacourt added: "I'm not sure really.

"These days every player wants to join PSG as they've got the money, they've got the ambition, they've got the ability to win the Champions League.

"PSG can't sign everyone though, so I'm not sure he's on their radar."
