Paul Pogba has been a “big disappointment” at Manchester United, according to Paul Scholes, who has backed the France international to show he is “world class” elsewhere once he leaves Old Trafford.

Pogba is set to depart United for free for the second time at the end of his contract this summer, with interim manager Ralf Rangnick confirming that he is unlikely to renew his deal and could have already played his last game for the club.

The midfielder arrived from Juventus for a world record fee of almost £90 million in 2016 but his six-year stay at Old Trafford is approaching an ugly end and the 29-year-old was booed off by United’s fans in the 3-2 win over Norwich earlier this month.

Pogba has often struggled to produce his best form at United, with the 2018 World Cup winner also unable to help the club challenge for major honours. Former United midfielder Scholes, who played alongside the Frenchman during his first spell at the club as he came through the United academy, also believes that Pogba has failed to improve since returning to Old Trafford but is capable of rediscovering his form in a better environment.

“I was there when he was a kid and this lad has got absolutely everything you would want in a footballer and a midfield player,” Scholes told TalkSport. “His physique, he can run. I just don’t think he’s ever learned as a footballer, he constantly seems to make the same mistakes over and over again.
