Frenchman Paul Pogba is set to leave Man United on his Bosman status come the end of the season and former United lynchpin and goalscorer Wayne Rooney was asked for his views about the midfielder\u2019s status quo.<\/p>\n
The United legendary icon has no doubts that the club \u2018need to let\u2019 the French World Cup winner leave the club this summer.<\/p>\n
Pogba made a return to Old Trafford for an \u00a389m world-record transfer fee in 2016 but since then has only managed to win just two trophies during his second stint at the club, and has ended up being more of a controversy among United supporters as many feel he\u2019s never delivered on his part of the bargain and his potential. Apart from the blight of injuries that has been the scourge for the midfielder for the better part of his second stint at United, Old Trafford\u2019s faithful diehards have found disfavor with the player\u2019s lack of commitment to the club on and off the pitch, evidenced more than once during the international breaks with scandalous headlines about his ambition to play with La Liga giants Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
The self-indulgent midfielder has allowed his contract at Old Trafford to run down, allowing him to leave United on a free transfer at the end of the season, exactly 10 years after he last left the club similarly for free. Former United talisman Rooney, making his second appearance on Monday Night Football, admitted he doesn\u2019t think the move has worked when asked about Pogba\u2019s second spell in Manchester.<\/p>\n
United\u2019s record goalscorer revealed he is not in favor of a late contract extension for the Frenchman ahead of his scheduled summer exit.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s got to point now where it\u2019s probably better for him to move on,\u201d Rooney told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think if Paul is honest with himself, he hasn\u2019t had the impact he would have liked since he returned to Manchester United. I watch him play for France and he\u2019s a completely different player.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbility, his vision, control of the game is there every game for France. It just hasn\u2019t quite worked for him at Manchester United. There\u2019s a few players they need to let go.\u201d<\/p>\n
