Ralf Rangnick has dismissed Paul Pogba's claim that he has not been given a defined role at Manchester United.
Pogba, who is out of contract this summer, said his last six years at United have left him unfulfilled and claimed the season was "dead" with no trophies left to win. United interim boss Rangnick dismissed Pogba's claims, insisting he has more important things to address than the personal gripes of a player who is set to leave the club.
"I've got enough to do now to prepare the team for the next game, and I don't think it makes sense to interpret or just judge what he has said in an interview," said Rangnick. "It doesn't make sense, it's important to judge him.

"I heard he said he had played in different positions in the last couple of weeks. Since the game against West Ham we have lost three strikers since then - Anthony Martial, Mason Greenwood and Edinson Cavani - who is injured again and will be out for the next couple of weeks.
"On top of that, if Paul was still injured himself, with Bruno or Scott McTominay, you have to play in a different role. This is normal."
Interviewed in France during the international break, Pogba said: "It's simple. With France, I play in my position. I know my role and I feel the confidence of the coach and the players. It's normal to feel a difference at United because it's hard to be consistent when you often have a change to your position or the team system or your partners. At United, do I really have a role? I ask the question but I don't have an answer."
