Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel has labelled midfielder Paul Pogba a 'problem child' in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side and says he doesn't know what role the French man is playing in the team.
Pogba struggled to make an impact in United's 1-1 Premier League draw against Arsenal at Old Trafford last night.
Schmeichel was covering the game and as a television analyst and he was less than impressed by the World Cup winner.
"It was a really weird performance. Sitting in the stands looking at the team and the shape, it was difficult to understand what was going on, what the plan for the game was," the former Danish 'keeper said after the game.
"And one thing that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer mentioned, when United had the ball he said it was very slow, I can only agree with that. The way the ball is being moved around when Pogba is in the team is different to the pace the ball is being moved around when he's not in the team.
"That is something I think they need to work on. If Pogba is playing in this team, he needs to speed it up a bit.
"He was seriously slowing it down, in the first 25 minutes just basically playing the ball backwards. For a player of his calibre that was disappointing. I don't understand what his role in this team is.
"Even when Ole made the substitutions and put Pogba further forward, not a lot happened. There were two very good passes in the game from Pogba but it's two, it's not 15.
"And I see that as a problem. He takes up so much attention. It kind of feels like he's a problem child in this team."
